Write a commentary of 650–750 words, based on a published “macro-economic” 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.

The commentary must:
• explain the linkages between the article and a macroeconomic theory (demand and supply, inflation, unemployment).
• 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).

Article
Article may be of any length, but you should highlight or underline the specific areas of the article that you have selected for discussion. Do not use editorials, blogs or columns as an article.

You can select your own article from recent (publication date later than April 17, 2016) issues of for instance the following magazines/ newspapers: The Economist, Newsweek, Business Week, Time, the International Herald Tribune, Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly.
