My name is Simon Altman. I am an economics and political science student at McGill University. I am interested in macroeconomics and monetary policy. One thing that fascinates me is how powerful these tools are. The former offers powerful frameworks in which to explain and incentivize interactions in society. The latter, monetary policy, is powerful in a more tangible way. It has an incredible impact on society that is often not even recognized. For example, the bank rate has a relatively close relationship to the unemployment rate. But when has someone complained about the central bank's policy when they were turned down from an interview? It is often hard as individuals to connect macroeconomic variables to things in our particular life, but yet they are still very relevant. I have created this wikipedia account to get involved in topics relating to these interests mentioned. Hopefully I will be able to contribute in a small way.
