Social 30-1

We finished watching the video that we started yesterday, so if you missed class today you will need to get a classmate's notes on "FDR and the New Deal". I also gave you a couple of handouts that looked at the advantages and disadvantages of the private enterprise system, and really clarified who were people of the economic left and the economic right. You have to be able to identify strengths and weaknesses of all of the economic systems that you are introduced to in this course. I also gave you a case study sheet on the United States during the Great Depression, notes on the rationale behind Keynesian economics, and the "alphabet agencies" associated with the New Deal policy initiatives. You should be able to start drawing some parallels with how Roosevelt's administration dealt with the Great Depression and how the Obama administration is dealing with the "great recession". Both administrations are interventionist in the economy, with FDR's New Deal policies and the Obama administration's policies of injecting money into the economy through government bailouts and economic stimulus packages. For more information on the timeline of the global recession, please click on this link from BBC News. Please also see this link from the New York Times on how past American administrations have dealt with recessions. This is an interactive feature and may require you to download the latest version of Flash player (it'll only take a minute or so for most Internet connection speeds).
