MACROECONOMICS VIDEOS
The Macroeconomics block of the Economy for Life project (2023-1-ES02-KA210-YOU-000114522) brings together a series of short, engaging videos that explain in simple terms how the main drivers of the economy work. Topics such as inflation, exchange rates, fiscal deficits, globalisation, economic growth, and GDP are presented in a clear way, showing their direct impact on our daily lives. We also explore essential issues such as sustainable development, economic indicators, and foreign trade policy, always using practical examples to make them easy to understand.
This block also looks at the role of the European Union’s economic institutions, the effects of unemployment on society, and the importance of ethical consumer choices in building a fairer and more sustainable world.
