Macroeconomics deals either with the economy as a whole or with the basic subdivisions or aggregates -such as the government, household, and business sector-making up the economy. An aggregate is a colletion of specific economic units treated as if they were one unit. Thus,we might find it convenient to lump together all businesses in our economy and treat them as if they were one huge unit. In dealing with aggregates, macroeconomics is concerned with obtaining an overview, or general outline, of the structure of the economy and the relationships among the major aggregates constituting the economy. No attention is given to specific units making up the various aggregates. Macroeconomics speaks of such magnitudes as total output, total level of employment, total income, aggregate expenditures, the general level of prices, and so forth, in analyzing various economic problems. Macroeconomics examines the forest, not the trees. It gives a bird´s-eye view of the economy.
