Answer 1

Macroeconomics focuses on trying to understand the following:

- **the changes that take place within an economic system as a whole**
- **the challenges that economic systems face, such as inflation and unemployment**
- **patterns of change within an economic system, as seen through economic models**

Macroeconomics generally does not focus on **the individual interactions of producers and consumers**, as this is more related to microeconomics. Additionally, it does not typically consider **a nation’s economy in isolation, without considering how it integrates with other nations**, as macroeconomic analysis often includes international factors and their impact on the economy.
