WELCOME BACK ECON 101 Textbook Written By: Women In Politics Sept 2022
The price increases for food in America are almost three times the predicted increase from before the pandemic. These drastic levels of inflation not only impact the everyday lives of all Americans, but especially hurt those whose constant wages do not increase with the inflation of cost of living. Issues just like these permeate the economy in almost every field and the first step to combat it is to learn.
AWORDFROMOUR AWORDFROMOUR MAGAZINEMANAGER: MAGAZINEMANAGER:
While most of us only see the impacts of inflation through gas prices, the true impacts are far spread and drastic. Gas prices are only the tip of the iceberg and although they remain a staggeringly large part of the conversation around economic health in America, other inflationary issues are more pressing and primarily impact lower socioeconomic groups. Food inflation specifically is wildly underreported and yet is vitally important to those living paycheck to paycheck.
At the start of each school year, I always find myself reflecting on the past and how much I have grown with each new year. This year especially, moving into college at UC Berkeley (go bears!!), living away from home for the first time, and defining the start of my adult(ish) life, I can’t help but remember the last few years that have brought me to this point. And truly what a whirlwind these last few years have been!
In my time with Women in Politics, I have witnessed and reported on what can only be explained as global turmoil. From pandemics to inflation to recessions, we have all experienced the unprecedented. Though for many, the peak of COVID 19 is becoming more of a memory than a present threat, new issues are beginning to arise. These issues are economic in nature, rather than health related. Corry

As I conclude my time with Women in Politics, I hope to have contributed to this education and helped each of you find agency and inspiration within yourselves, realizing the impact each of us can have on the political world. I know that this magazine and organization as a whole will continue to do so, especially as your fantastic new magazine manager steps into the role! I feel so honored and lucky to have been a part of this incredibly inspiring group and to spend this year with all of you readers! Please continue to engage with the world of politics with confidence and curiosity! Vote often, vote always! You are the future, and that fact gives me so much comfort for the future state of the world.
The state of the economy can seem like an abstract and daunting force, uncontrollable and unpredictable, but it doesn’t have to be. Each of us can better the economy as a whole by staying informed and knowledgeable as we develop understanding of how it functions.
However, in my time here I have also gotten to see the resilience which came out of these trying times. All too often, we focus on pointing out the issues of the world, but not how we can work to solve them. Things may feel so large that any personal choice will have insignificant impact on the issue as a whole, but this is simply not the case. We must not lose our own sense of agency or become complacent in our knowledge. Small steps in building knowledge can have monumental impacts. Learning where to save and spend money keeps both the personal and global economies healthy. Remaining knowledgeable about the current political climate will allow informed voting decisions.Working little by little to further educate ourselves and others about the current economic and political issues of the world will perpetuate a strong culture of agency and change.

Legislation Today: What Does It Mean For You?
BY: SAGE LAHMERS
There has been a lot of talk about the economy in recent months. From Wall Street to gas stations, many Americans are feeling the effects of the US economy. Economics is incredibly fascinating and something that everyone needs to be aware of. This article breaks down the current US economy in simpler Yterms.
Current events also affect prices. For example, Russia is a major source of natural gas for many nations. When Russia invaded Ukraine, Russia stopped exporting gas to certain countries, causing a surge in gas prices.

The State of the U.S. Economy: AreWeina Recession?
ou have probably heard a lot about inflation in the past year. Inflation is measured by the increase of prices. Some inflation is critical for a functioning economy. When inflation is low, demand is too weak to push up prices. The general goal for inflation is 2%. However, from July 2021 to July 2022, inflation rose by 8.5%, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). When inflation is high, everything gas, food, utilities costs more.

Prices are also determined by the cost to produce products, which has increased due to supply chain issues. Russia is also the top wheat exporter in the world. Ukraine is known as the “breadbasket of Europe,” so the war has significantly disrupted the food supply chain. This has led to an increase in food prices, and may be why your grocery bill is up.
Economists often
The Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee increased interest rates by 2.5% in July. When interest rates are low, it costs much less to borrow money. Interest rates were significantly lowered at the start of the pandemic to help keep businesses afloat. Now they are being raised significantly to balance inflation. The key takeaway is that while the US is showing some signs of a recession, if this is a recession, it is like no other we ’ ve seen before.
Unemployment has remained low. It is currently at 3.5%, back to pre pandemic norms. Job seekers currently have the upper hand because there are about two jobs for every unemployed person. However, high unemployment lags behind other key recession indicators.
use gross domestic product or GDP as a measure of economic health. If the economy is healthy, then GDP typically grows between 2 3%. If GDP is more than 3%, then the economy is too hot. If it falls below 2%, then the economy is in danger. GDP fell for the second quarter in a row, which is a typical mark of a recession.
Durable goods are another mark of economic health because people tend to purchase durable goods when the economy is good. Orders for durable goods fell by 5.5% in Q2.
Manufacturing jobs are a key indicator for recessions. Manufacturing jobs have been increasing steadily since the large drop at the beginning of the pandemic, which is a very good sign. They have now risen slightly above pre pandemic levels.

The Assault Weapons Ban of 2022 aims to secure a limited right to bear arms and regulation to assault weapons. The bill was proposed to the 117th Congress on March 11, 2022 by Dianne Feinstein, a Senior Senator (D CA).
On July 29, 2022, this bill was passed through the House of Representatives, but many bipartisan politicians say it is doomed to fail in the Senate, which is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. Due to this, this bill has only a 3% chance of complete passage.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 aims to reduce inflation by lowering the prices of prescription medications, promoting clean energy by creating jobs, and evening the tax code. In terms of prescription drugs, the bill has placed a $35 cap on out of pocket costs for a month’s supply of insulin. For clean energy jobs, domestic production in solar and wind energy has been incentivized. As for the tax code, the government intends to go after tax dodgers and large corporations for tax evasions. ensuring that they pay taxes already owed.
The bill was sponsored by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D NY) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D WV). It passed through the 117th Congress in late July and was passed into law by President Biden on August 16, 2022.

LEGISLATION TODAY:
What Does it REALLY Mean?
This ban is proposed in response to the number of mass shootings in the United States in recent years. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D NY) called for its passage and asked the House, “How many more mass shootings must we endure?”
Supporters of the bill argue that President Biden imposes “woke” ideology on other nations through his creation of this position. In addition, they cite it as a failure in his foreign policy efforts.
4
As of August 2022, the bill has been introduced to the Senate, but there is no indication of an incoming vote to enact or dissuade its passage.
House Rep. Jim Jordan (R OH)opposes the bill and says, “[Democrats are] coming for your guns. ” He believes that should this bill become law, it “will make communities… less safe.”
Stop Imposing Woke Ideology Abroad Act
The Stop Imposing Woke Ideology Abroad Act is a bill proposed by Rep. Andy Biggs (R AZ) aiming to eliminate the State Department’s new Special Representative for Racial Equality and Justice. This position was created by the Biden Administration in April 2022 and is currently filled by Desirée Cormier Smith. It was proposed to the 117th Congress on July 19, 2022.
However, opponents rebuke that this new position is beneficial for American influence and helps to combat systemic racism and discrimination.
The bill has four co sponsors, all of whom are registered Republicans The bill awaits a vote in the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Odds of passage are considered low, with some statistics making a claim less than 1% because of the Democrat controlled House of Representatives

and activists alike have been hange and reduce humanity’s damage to the Earth. Research on the effects of global warming has strengthened since it was first discovered in 1938 and in recent years, scientists have warned governments around the world to drastically reduce carbon emissions before the state of the environment is beyond repair. The United States produces some of the highest carbon emissions in the world and has struggled to pass effective climate change legislation due to complicated political tension. Political parties, legislators, and voters have fought about effective ways to address climate change for decades. Over time, the call for climate action has increased exponentially and lawmakers are feeling pressure to pass regulations that reduce wasteful energy without harming the economy.
NA MATSUKAWA CLIMATE BILL
In a statement on the Inflation Reduction Act, the White House says that the act will, “Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 1 gigaton in 2030, or a billion metric tons 10 times more climate impact than any other single piece of legislation ever enacted.” The statement also touches on how the act will impose fairer tax laws, specifically addressing corporate taxes. Through tax laws, reduction of prescription drug costs, and clean energy, legislators hope to curb inflation and invest in an economy for the future.

Since the growth of climate activism in the 1970s, the politics of climate change have been turbulent, and as a result, major legislation has been few and far between. When President Biden was sworn into office in 2021, the Democratic Party promised to take action on climate change with the trillion dollar “Build Back Better” bill. After the bill did not pass, legislators worked to whittle it down and reshape it. Eventually, Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema compromised and worked to form the Inflation Reduction Act. The bill promised to reduce inflation by investing in healthcare and clean energy and imposing stricter tax laws. On Sunday, August 7th, the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act with a 51 to 50 majority. Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie breaking vote. The bill then moved to the House of Representatives where it passed with a vote along party lines of 220 to 207.
On August 16th, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, calling it “the biggest step forward on climate ever. ” This law will address climate issues through new clean manufacturing jobs, pollution reduction which in turn will help reduce environmental injustice , clean energy production, and lower energy costs.
If you are worried about climate change, not only can you find ways to eat, shop, and travel more sustainably, reduce waste, and volunteer for environmental organizations, you can also help create political change. Though drastic climate legislation is difficult to pass in a politically fraught environment, speaking out, demonstrating, and voting can help push politicians to pass meaningful legislation. As more voices contribute to the conversation and the urgency of global warming increases, environmental policies are passed. The success of the Inflation Reduction Act and its impact on Washington politics might not be enough to solve the U.S.’s contribution to global climate change, but it is an act of historical importance that will create an economic impact and some environmental change.
Although the level of climate action seen in the Inflation Reduction Act is unprecedented in U.S. politics, according to an article by Lisa Friedman and Coral Davenport in the New York Times, many scientists say it is not enough and the United States “must stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by 2050.” They write that Biden had goals to reduce carbon emissions 50% by 2030, but the new Inflation Reduction Act will not do so. In a time where action against climate change is crucial, many are calling for the U.S. to drastically cut carbon emissions through more effective measures.

As American citizens react to the current cost of fuel and grumble each time they come across a gas station, a ponder provokes as to what caused this. The current state of the economy may be summed up in one word: inflation. What exactly is inflation, then? Is it when your preferred restaurant increases their prices? Not exactly. Although prices do rise sharply as a result of inflation, this economic issue is more complex. A unit of money really has less purchasing power than it had in earlier times due to inflation, which is the rise in prices. In simple terms, it is when prices are rising while currency is lessening in value. We as people, start to feel the burden of unfair financial systems when the purchasing power of money is declining and prices are sharply rising. While looking through an article by Investopedia, which is a highly reliable source regarding finance as the authors are all credentialed with financial degrees, I found a simple and educational definition. Inflation, according to Investopedia, seeks to gauge the total effect of increases in price for a variety of goods and services.

Inflation
AllYouNeedToKnowAbout
As prices grow, fewer products and services may be purchased with a given amount of money. When researching inflation, I thought to myself, “What causes inflation”? The response was as sophisticated as I had anticipated. High consumer demand, insufficient supply, and rising corporate operating costs can all contribute to inflation. Some contend that higher salaries have an influence on inflation, but they fail to acknowledge that higher wages are essential to keep up with the economic trend and the inflation that large corporations' costs cause. The general public's cost of living has been affected by this decline in the value of money, which eventually slows economic growth. So, sure, it does entail an increase in prices, but it's important to keep in mind that inflation is not solely caused by the fact that the cost of your favorite restaurant has gone up. It is inflation when at the same time the value of money suddenly decreases.

It is now established how crucial it is to understand the harmful impacts of on families globally. It is now important to take action.
Moreover, there are multiple methods as to what we can do to decrease inflation. After many debates, two potential ideas have been narrowed down the first one being the central bank increasing interest rates. Higher interest rates can significantly slow down investment and consumer spending, leading to a lower rate of economic growth. As economic growth slows down, so does inflation. I predict the first suggestion may not be appealing to many. Second on the list would be supply side policies, which refers to tax reduction. This may enable the economy to become more competitive and help to moderate inflationary pressures. For example, more flexible labor markets, and more involvement within trading supplies may help reduce inflationary pressure. Inflation is not a simple issue to fix immediately, the key is to start taking action to decrease it. This could be done by sharing your concern with your local representative or casting a politician who understands these requirem shift the current economy.
What's going to happen to the people making $15 and $18 an hour and the single mothers and people who have mouths to feed? It's very scary to me.

You might be asking what this applies for our children and our families at this tim ultimately, inflation dramatically damages families in the nation. Since they spend percentage of their income on housing, food, and energy expenditures, lower inco people will be hurt worse by inflation. Additionally, younger age groups, which typically make less money than their older counterparts, tend to have lower earnings. It is self explanatory that as prices rise due to inflation, it will be more difficult to buy basic necessities such as food, especially organic food. Scott Horsely, the NPR Chief Economics Correspondent expresses, “‘I'm genuinely worried about the future,’ Byron says. ‘What's going to happen to the people making $15 and $18 an hour and the single mothers and people who have mouths to feed? It's very scary to me. ’ When inflation is high, everyone pays the price, but research suggests that lower income families suffer the most. ‘Typically food and gasoline and housing are a bigger share of total spending for lower-income households than for higher income households,’ says Dan Sichel, an economist at Wellesley College”
Everything You Need to Know
We’ve all heard the phrase ” money makes the world go round.” Not a day goes by where a penny isn’t spent. We all have our misconceptions, from investment bankers on Canary Wharf, to large corporations that are desperate to avoid taxes. This leads many to question how money and economics work. How does this thing determine how our world function?
BY PELUMI ADEKUNLE
As economics is so complex, many have a false view of the topic. However, economics is not merely the study of money, but the study of people and resources and how different people use those resources. Although money does play a huge role in modern economics, it is so much more diverse. We can look to ancient economies to prove this. In the past, resources such as plants and grain were exchanged for other resources such as livestock, as well as services. This in itself was an economy; an economy without the usage of money. Yet economic concepts such as supply and demand were still applied.
If everyone wanted iPhones and Apple did not supply enough to meet this demand, a shortage would occur. A consequence of this is that the price of the iPhone would likely increase. If nobody wanted iPhones and Apple manufactured an abundance of them, supply would exceed demand, and a concept known as excess demand would occur. A consequence of this is that the price of the iPhone would likely decrease to encourage more sales.
Supply and demand are some basic economic concepts. Supply refers to the amount of a resource, and demand refers to the number of people that desire that resource. An example is the iPhone. There is a huge demand for the latest iPhone every year, and Apple always has enough supply (iPhones) to meet the demand (people who want the iPhones). When the supply meets the demand an economic concept called Market Equilibrium occurs.

ECONOMICS 101:
Modern economics can be divided into two categories: microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics looks at small scale interactions as well as whole markets, whereas macroeconomics looks at the entire economy on a national and even global scale. Apple and the smartphone market would be examples of a micro economy. However, all this considered, politicians mainly focus on the macro economy as that is what affects GDP and economic growth and decline.
Whatever economics is to you, we all must have basic knowledge and understanding of this complex and diverse subject area.
The term Elasticity also ties into the concept of supply and demand. It refers to how much the price of something can change before harming sales. An example is if Apple increased the price of its iPhone from around $1,000 to $100,000, the number of iPhones bought (demand) would likely decrease as people are less likely to purchase something if they cannot justify the price.
GDP stands for gross domestic product. It refers to the total market value of a country’s goods and services produced. It is a good indicator of a country's economic health. The higher the GDP, the better employment, spending, taxes, etc. This means that the country's economy is rising or growing. If the inverse is happening, the country's economy is shrinking or on the decline. As with most things, nothing in economics is black and white, and everything is interconnected.
Economics is also psychology; the study of behaviour. Why do people demand a certain product? Why do they have an elastic value for that product? It can also be philosophy; the study of some of the most basic questions on human life. What is the best economic system to run a country? Is it fair for politicians to choose this or should it be decided by the people? It can also be mathematics, plotting and interpreting complex economic graphs.
As with most things, nothing in economics is black and white, and everything is interconnected.

When everyone in my surrounding community started talking about cryptocurrency and NFTs some time ago, I felt very stressed about not being able to contribute to the discussion. By the time I gained some knowledge in the topic, some of my classmates had already started to earn money by trading crypto and talking about concepts which seemed so complex to me then, such as mining, blockchain, or coins. That was the moment when I decided to finally research the topic deeper and seek explanation for the most ambiguous terms; I will be glad to share my key takeaways and give a more global perspective of the impact digital currency has on the world economy.
BY: VALERIIA IVANOVA
Blockchain is essentially a digital database of records stored securely in blocks of information. A blockchain represents a more secure system because it is a chain that keeps on growing, rather than an organized database that can be hacked. It’s a system of mass information storage and record keeping in chronological order with timestamps, and blockchain code cannot be reversed. Crypto transactions happen only once in time and can’t be reverted, the purchaser would simply need to sell to someone else. Blockchain has a strict no refunds, no exchanges policy.
So, let’s start with defining the most important concepts. Crypto is a decentralized currency system that represents a completely digital value exchange with securely documented, encrypted transactions that are only accessible with a key. While a bank or financial institution uses a centralized system that is regulated, stores client information on local servers, and has the potential to be hacked or lost if the bank goes under, cryptocurrency is decentralized and built on blockchain technology that stores and validates encrypted information across the internet.

mpact of Cryptocurrency:
Crypto has grown in tandem with the incredibly popular digital assets of non fungible tokens (NFTs), which are also hosted on blockchain technology. NFTs can be digital art, music, GIFs, videos, or any other unique digital item, and hold value due to their scarcity. With a unique digital token, NFT ownership is exchanged similarly to trading or selling cryptocurrencies.
The first significant conversation about crypto all started with Bitcoin in early 2009, first introduced as Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System. Over time, other types of digital currency have emerged, with the market cap (total value of a publicly traded company ' s outstanding common shares owned by stockholders) hitting $2.65 trillion. In 2014, companies such as Overstock accepted Bitcoin as a payment method. The same was followed by companies such as Master Card, Pavilion Hotels, AXA Insurance, Starbucks, Visa, and PayPal.
On the economic front, cryptocurrency may potentially disrupt economies with its capacity to destroy central banks. Central banks are at the helm of the modern global financial infrastructure. An overwhelming majority of countries around the world use central banks to manage their economies. While it offers several advantages, this form of centralized structure vests excessive power on a single authority and has resulted in severe economic recessions. Cryptocurrency might solve the problems central banks possess. Let’s take an example of Bitcoin network. Firstly, Bitcoin cannot be double spent since it is unique and secured via cryptography. Thus, you cannot spend the same bitcoin twice. Secondly, algorithms back the trust of bitcoin, though it is decentralized, so unless one of the computers that run the blockchain's software approve the transaction, the transaction cannot be included in the public ledger of Bitcoin. Thirdly, it does not need an intermediary to produce and distribute the currency. Many central banks over the globe are adopting the elements of cryptocurrency to introduce Central Bank Digital Currencies. Thus, cryptocurrencies may have the potential to change how the economy runs by presenting alternatives to traditional payment systems and methods.
13
The overall response across central banks of various countries is lukewarm. While some countries are highly supportive of cryptos, other central banks are cautious due to the extreme levels of volatility. In the recent FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting held on September 22, 2021, the Chairman stated that the Federal Open Market Committee is evaluating whether cryptocurrency should be part of mainstream society and create a central bank digital currency (CBDC). FOMC has taken a scan, learning more about the situation, and observing the market.

The lack of a centralized authority with which to negotiate also presents an opportunity for business owners. They are not beholden to any one government or financial institution and can, therefore, negotiate their own terms. This is a particularly powerful tool for entrepreneurs in countries with unstable governments or economies. In fact, there are cryptocurrency companies that assist business owners in Africa make financial transactions with European, American, and Asian companies with the intention of creating financial coverage and financial liberation through exchanges worldwide.
Furthermore, cryptocurrencies could replace traditional shares of companies. Blockchain technology would then manage and record the transfer of shares for the given company on a decentralized ledger. Intermediaries would no longer be needed, and it could see the end of the traditional brokers of today.
Economic Impact of Cryptocurrency For Entrepreneurs
Economic Impact of Cryptocurrency Through Transparency
The fact that blockchain technology and cryptocurrency transactions are automated, digitized, and tracked on a ledger that can never be manipulated by people, companies, or governments is a major advantage. This means that there is less risk of fraud and corruption, and that people have more power and freedom.
Cryptocurrencies have the potential to help underdeveloped countries and government oppressed peoples in a number of ways. For one, the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies allows people in these countries to transact without fear of government interference or censorship. Furthermore, the borderless nature of cryptocurrencies means that people in these countries can access global markets and investment opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach. Finally, the utility of cryptocurrencies can be used to help boost the economies of these countries by providing a new way for people to transact and invest.
