What to Focus On

  • Microeconomics studies individual units.
  • Macroeconomics studies aggregates of the economy.
  • Microeconomics is also called Price Theory.
  • Utility is psychological satisfaction.
  • Utility is measured in utils.
  • Utility is subjective, relative, and abstract.
  • Value can mean use value or exchange value.
  • Value is relative.
  • Necessary goods have high use value but low exchange value.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Microeconomics and macroeconomics are just two names for the same branch of economics.

Utility means usefulness, so anything useful must have utility and anything with utility must be useful in a moral or practical sense.

Marginal utility is the total satisfaction from all units consumed.
