March 7


I went through a review of the Keynesian economic response to the various stages of the business cycle today. I also talked a bit about the shift back and forth throughout the 20th century between laissez faire capitalism and classical liberal economic policies with limited government involvement in the economy to a Keynesian approach employed by FDR and beyond until the early 1970s. We'll talk more about Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, FDR, Thatcher, Reagan, and Obama next week. I also had you listen to an NPR podcast on how Obama employed Keynesian economics to deal with the 2008 Global Recession. You had the remaining class time to work on your Chapter 6 Key Terms and Questions, which are due on Tuesday, March 12th.


I want you to read "The Causes of World War I" reading from your Social 20-1 course books (pages 85-97) for homework tonight. I gave you some time to read, highlight and annotate "Issue of Responsibility" (pages 99-100) in your course books. I gave you the remainder of class time to work on your Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions, which are due on Tuesday, March 12th. You have a busy couple of days coming up in Social 20-1. You're writing the Chapter 3-4 Test tomorrow, the Unit 1 Final Exam on Monday, and you're writing the Unit 1 WRA I on Tuesday. If you're away for the Unit Final for a snowshoe trip, we'll have you write it on Wednesday.
