March 9


I did homework checks on your Chapter 6 Key Terms and Questions, and recorded your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions homework checks from last week. I showed you two videos today from the TV news magazine show 60 Minutes today, "Dutch Treat" and "Welfare a la carte" which gave you some case study information on Netherlands and Norway. You should investigate these two countries on your own in greater detail because they can serve as case studies for mixed economies. If you missed class today, you need to get the advantages and disadvantages charts that students took on these two videos. Please remember that you are writing your Ideological Reaction to Industrialization Test (which covers Chapter 3 material and part of Chapter 4), please check out the study guide below.


This test is multiple choice format. This test is on Friday, March 13th. This test covers material from Chapter 3 and part of Chapter 4.

  • "The Development of Classical Liberalism"
