For this assignment, find one (1) media story about an economy (US or other country). The story does NOT need to be current, but it does need to be about macroeconomic events (inflation, growth, recession, etc.). Identify the demand and/or production cost change implied by the story. Explain the implications of the shock(s) for Real GDP growth, inflation, and interest rates. If you cannot identify a demand or production cost change, chose another story.

Answer in one or two paragraphs. Be sure to provide an internet link to the story you analyze.
