Day 68

Started class off with a review quiz. The students were to finish one of the following sentences: 1) Capitalism (a free market) encourages racism in that it... OR 2) Capitalism discourages racism in that it...

We then continued discussion of our class Political Orientation quiz.

For any students slightly interested in studying statistics I showed them a cool video that portrays statistics in a great light: http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2010/12/200-countries-and-200-years-in-4.html

We began some introductory reading on some causes of the Great Depression, according to Murphy's Capitalism book.

The students each signed up for a particular day in which they are to bring a quote of their choosing, any topic, and lead a class discussion on that topic.
