Introduction
In 1933, Norwegian economist Sir Ragnar Frisch, who later became the first recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics (1969), introduced the terms Microeconomics and Macroeconomics to provide a clear distinction between different scales of economic analysis. The terms derive from ancient Greek linguistics: 'Mikros' meaning "small" and 'Makros' meaning "large". This terminological innovation occurred during the Great Depression when economists recognised the need for systematic approaches to understand both individual economic behaviour and broader economic phenomena.

Key Points: Branches of Economics
- Historical Significance: Ragnar Frisch's 1933 contribution established systematic economic analysis frameworks.
- Scale Distinction: Microeconomics studies individual units; macroeconomics examines aggregate systems.
- Greek Origins: 'Mikros' (small) and 'Makros' (large) provide intuitive understanding of scope.
- Interconnected Analysis: Both perspectives are necessary for comprehensive economic understanding.
- Real-World Relevance: Economic decisions at all levels affect daily life and national prosperity.
