#2 Gross domestic product (GDP) is the economic variable of most
interest to macroeconomists. GDP is the total value of all goods and services
produced in the economy during a specified period of time, usually a year or
a quarter. The total value of goods and services can change either because
the quantities of goods and services are changing or because their prices are
changing. As a result, economists often prefer to use real gross domestic
product (real GDP) as the measure of production; the adjective real means
that we adjust the measure of production to account for changes in prices
over time. Real GDP, also called output or production, is the most
comprehensive measure of how well the economy is doing.

Summarizing: involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words,
including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute
summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter
than the original and take a broad overview of the source material.
