Economic Changes
Definition
Economic changes refer to shifts in the structure, performance, or conditions of an economy over time. These can include changes in policies, technology, population demographics, and global interactions.
Analogy
Think of economic changes like a game of Monopoly. As the game progresses (time), players acquire properties (technology), trade with others (global interactions), and sometimes change the rules (policies). The overall state of the board - who's winning or losing - can shift dramatically based on these factors.
