We did our usual review of economics at the beginning of class today, but we also did some more work at Keynesian economics, monetary and fiscal policy and what a government should do (according to Keynes) in times of economic booms and busts. I gave you some homework tonight: you must complete the "Benefits of Economic Systems" booklet for tomorrow. I'll will be doing a homework check on it.

how do you copy paste into your blog

Mr.G, what if one person gave an opinion about a topic but you feel that there is nothing more that needs to be said?
Or a topic dies while we're discussing it?

how do you copy paste into your blog

-----------------------
You'll have to open up the Word document that I sent to you. Highlight the text you want to copy by clicking and dragging the mouse, then right click on the highlighted text, click on copy. Then you need to open up your blog, start a new post, then right click again and then paste, and that should work.

-------------------------
That will happen. Try a different topic, maybe one that we didn't discuss in class.
