This course looks at the two economies of the UK and the USA as they stand in early June 2019. During the visit to the UK by President Trump we look at the two economies - the one the UK PM is leaving behind as a legacy and the one President Trump is (temporarily) departing from.
As part of the analysis we apply basic macroeconomic concepts.
