I reminded you that you are responsible for going through "The Development of Classical Liberalism" PowerPoint lecture and reviewing the section on the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. I went through some notes on the board covering a wide variety of economic topics. I reviewed the 20th century political spectrum, the economic-political grid, the basic economic problem facing all societies (scarcity), the basic economic systems, the basic economic values, and the basic economic questions. We also covered how the various economic systems answered the basic economic questions. I also introduced the business cycle today.
