K: The standard abbreviation for the quantity of capital goods, especially for the analysis of production. The letter "K" is used even though capital begins with a "C" because "C" is commonly used to represent consumption.

A modern, complex economy like the U.S. economy pursues three macro goals:- Full employment: Using all available resources for production.

- More conflicts result from pursuit of the micro goals of efficiency and equity.
- Macroeconomic problems from not reaching this goals are: production, unemployment, and inflation.
