Abstract

It is customary when studying many subjects to divide them into different sections. This makes good sense. It is daunting to feel that the only way to tackle a particular subject is to have to take on the whole of it at once. It makes study far more accessible and easier to organise if there are subdivisions within a subject that allow it to be tackled one part at a time. This helps to explain the logic of the division of economics into microeconomics and macroeconomics. It appears to make the study of the subject a less daunting task if there are two separate aspects of the subject that can be studied.
