I went through a quick review of the 19th century political spectrum and the 20th century political spectrum, and then I talked about how classical liberalism and laissez faire capitalism emerged as the dominant political and economic ideology respectively during the Industrial Revolution. As I said in class, the Industrial Revolution has an important time period, as it changed society so profoundly economically, politically and socially that new political ideologies emerged to challenge classical liberalism. I will talk more about this later this week. I also started lecturing on economics today, discussing the problem of scarcity, different economic systems, basic economic values, and the basic economic questions that all economic systems must answer. I also started talking about Keynesian economics (demand-side economics) and the business cycle today. I will re-visit these last themes again tomorrow. Please remember that your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow.
