    3. Describe the four major sectors in an economy according to the macroeconomic point of view.

    These are the four major sectors in the economy according to the macroeconomic point of view.

    i) The production sector that is responsible for the production of goods and services

    ii) The household sector that consumes the goods and services produced in the economy

    iii) The government sector that is responsible for framing laws and regulating policies that affect the economy and
    the people.

    Imports)

    4. Describe the Great Depression of 1929.


    The Great Depression of 1929 was one of the worst economic depressions in the history of the world. It began
    when the U.S. stock market crashed in 1929 and lasted until the end of the 1930s. Several causes are considered
    to be responsible for this period of economic downturn. Raising debt levels, fall in profits and the gold standard
    system are some attributed causes.

    The Great Depression led to a series of problems for the economy and the people. There was a drastic decrease
    in production and consumption in the economy. The rate of unemployment skyrocketed resulting in hardships
    across the population. A lot of prominent banks failed and ran out of business. Eventually, the great depression
    shaped the politics of the U.S. and laid the foundations for The New Deal.
