    The Economics Game
    I thought that the Economics forum would benefit from a bit more activity! I'm not sure if this will be popular, it's a bit of a copy from the medicine thread, but I felt with economics it wouldn't get too random (such as crazy bacteria).

    The game is simple, you must post an economics related word (or term) which starts with the last letter of the word from the above post.

    The game is simple, you must post an economics related word (or term) which starts with the second-last letter of the word from the above post. (To avoid the numerous words ending with y in economics).

    Try and make your word clear, and feel free to add a definition!

    Fiscal policy - the government's decision on taxation and government spending.
