core核心畫面

Picture someone watching prices, jobs, trade and spending the way a doctor watches a body — not selling anything, not running a company, but trying to work out why money and goods are moving the way they are, and what happens next. An economist can be thought of as the person whose job is that watching and explaining: economy plus -ist, the one who studies it.

可以想成有一個人盯著物價、就業、貿易和大家的花費，像醫生看一個身體那樣——他不賣東西，也不經營公司，只是想弄清楚錢和貨為什麼這樣流動，以及接下來會怎麼走。economist 就像是把「做這件觀察和解釋的人」收成一個字：economy 加上 -ist，研究經濟的那個人。

GDP measures the total value of output in an economic territory. Its apparent simplicity explains why it is scrutinised down to tenths of a percentage point every month.
    • The formula, which AEI economists said had “no foundation in either economic theory or trade law,” instead wrongly incorporated the elasticity for retail prices. […] However, certainty is anything but a sure thing these days, and the bread-and-butter of the US economy might not go unscathed, said RSM economist Brusuelas.
