Economic Commentary with graphs

Write Two (2) commentaries, each one of 750–850 words, based on a published “economic or macroeconomic” article from the news media. It is very important that your commentary shows your own line of (economic) reasoning and NOT simply a summary of the article or Sloman.

Explain the linkages between each one of the articles and a macro-economic theory taken from (part of) a chapter of Sloman (which has to be part of the literature of Macro-economics – i.e. Ch 1, Ch2, Ch 3.1, Ch15, Ch20 or Ch24).

Each article has to be linked to a different section or chapter of Sloman.

Demonstrate economic insights into the implications of the article (that is, it should provide evidence of your ability to evaluate current events from the point of view of an economist).
