Part 2/12:
The presenter emphasizes that the economy is built upon simple elements which revolve around transactions—exchanges of goods, services, and assets. Despite the apparent complexity, these transactions are repeated endlessly, driven largely by human ingenuity and decision-making. Understanding these basic elements uncovers the predictable patterns and cycles that govern the economic landscape.

Growth of Production Capacity
Demand Cycles
Long-term Debt Cycles
By analyzing these components individually and in combination, we can construct a model that reflects the current economic state and project its future trajectory.
