Summary of the week of March 19th

I have learned what i believe to be a good amount about the economic systems of the world and how they work.     The subject interests me so I have an easier time paying attention to it.  I am regretful that I did not participate twice in the debate not only because that will affect my grade but because it is such an interesting topic.  I feel like I had a hard time participating in the debate though because when people made points about floating or not floating the currency I had trouble wrapping my mind around long term and short term affects.  I feel like if we had the debate now then I would be better prepared for it as I think i understand more of the system now.  I do not think that anyone, even experts, truly understand everything about the economy.  I think that that is the big problem with our economic problems is that no one knows everything about it, and many people do not know enough to do anything about it.   I look forward to learning more about the economy of different areas of the world and how they can be changed for the better.

  1. You put your finger right on the problem--some people view this short term, others view it long term, and they can't agree to use the same lens to discuss it...If you listen to politicians debate it, they end up talking past each other...
