Macroeconomics 101 by the Pan African Feminist Political Economy Collective NAWI explains in a simple and accessible way, why macroeconomics matters. The booklet starts from the perspective of an African woman buying garlic on the market and explains from this perspective, how macroeconomics affects daily life. In doing so, the booklet looks at the impact of structural adjustment programmes and neo-liberalism.

Comment from our editors:

Macroeconomics 101 explains in accessible language why macroeconomics matters in everyday life, how it relates to women's rights issues and adresses the impact of structural adjustment programmes. Using everyday examples such as the price of garlic or the cost of basic health care, the booklet connects abstract concepts to everyday experiences.
