Understanding Our Economy: Macroeconomics
A live working draft
This site is the bounded publication pilot for Understanding Our Economy: Macroeconomics. Chapter 1 tests the full route from Google Docs-centered editing to reproducible Quarto publication. Chapters 2–4 are public AI-drafted skeletons for testing the emerging book structure, source-reuse flags, analytical and empirical R figures, and the treatment of institutions and inequality.
The site does not present any chapter as approved or complete. Draft source notes, paragraph-level reuse flags, fact-check flags, and data-review flags remain visible by design.
What this pilot proves
- Structured glossary, MCQ, flashcard, and exercise assets can be validated and rendered.
- Main and Data Extension figures can be reproduced from pinned FRED snapshots without network access.
- Google Docs exports can be preflighted for unresolved review markup before conversion.
- Every artifact has an explicit canonical state and human approval gate.
- The left navigation exposes expandable chapter sections, while short supplementary notes can sit beside the main text on wide screens.
During drafting, production editing, and copyediting, the named Google Doc is canonical. This website is a labeled public draft mirror. Quarto becomes canonical only after the documented final transfer gate and approved pull request.
