Current Events
I get a lot of questions from
students struggling to interpret current economic developments.
They cannot be fully covered in our 10-minute class
discussions. So I added this new webpage where from time to time
I post commentary, interesting articles, graphs, or
whatever else.

Bye bye
light bulb.
(WSJ 1/2/08) You can buy an
incandescent bulb for 50¢ or a fluorescent one for $3.00. You can save
$1.00 on electricity if you buy the fluorescent one. Should the government dictate technology? If so, in what
industry?
