# Economic Aggregates Summary::The mistaken idea that goods in a diverse economy be added. I have no idea what I had in mind when I made this entry. What in heavens name are aggregates? Could I have been thinking about making an explanation of money used as a measure for aggregate aggregate economic activity? In this post comment on encouraging people to think of the items which they are getting or giving up when the exchange for money rather than the money itself, e.g. the balance in your bank account doesn't have much of value because of the money unit rather it has value because of the things for which the money can be exchanged. # References / Links [[consumer price index]] (CPI) [[Gross Domestic Product]] (GDP) [[Income Accounts]]
