Economics

By Ken Lattari

Using some themes from Dante's Inferno I have Adam Smith leading students through an underworld filled with three major economic systems. This will lead them through the basic definitions of Command, Traditional, and Market economies. There is a slideshow I created that is attached that students are to use to answer the tasks that follow. This is a good replacement for just lecturing this information. Some portions that do not have questions are self paced otherwise it is not. I created it to be this way so we can discuss the information at each juncture point and supplement the information (i.e., The Jungle when Laissez Faire arrives).
