GDP DEFLATOR: A price index based on the calculation of real gross domestic product that's used as an indicator of average prices in the economy.

BLACK DISMALAPOD
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who believes that happy people are mentally unbalanced and delusional. Family and friends don't have a clue about what makes you tick. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a going out of business sale hoping to buy either a wall poster commemorating the first day of winter or blue cotton balls. Be on the lookout for malfunctioning pocket calculators. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter L, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 153430. Your preferred shopping venue is convenience stores. Your special symbol is the pound sign (#).
Is this You?
As a Black Dismalapod, you tend to be grumpy and gloomy, morose and melancholy, and often downcast and disgruntled. You don't really trust others and expect only the worst from them. You are seldom disappointed. You tend to spend a lot of time by yourself. Sadly, you recognize that you are destined to come up on the short end of any economic transaction.
This isn't me! What am I?

ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGE The general ability to produce more goods or services using fewer resources. A person or country has an absolute advantage in production largely due to superior technology or greater technical efficiency. A related, but contrasting concept is comparative advantage. Both terms are perhaps most important to the study of international trade, but also provide insight into other exchanges.

Getting Your Share Of FARM SUBSIDIES Our pedestrian excursion through the economy has helped me work up a ferocious appetite. I vote for a quick stop at the Mr. Market Super Food Discount Store where we can purchase a loaf of bread, assorted meats, and some cheese -- all for a luncheon tribute to the Earl of Sandwich. While a self-made tribute to the Earl is less expensive than any purchased from Manny Mustard's House of Sandwich, the ingredients from Mr. Market Super Food Discount Store still carry a hefty price tag. If you're hungry and have limited cash on hand, you might wonder whether food prices are higher than they need to be.
