The Undercover Economist
This class reveals how economists view everyday events. What does the study of economics tell us about ourselves, our neighbors, and our society? Teachers will learn how to enter the “dismal science” and return with insightful tools of analysis for themselves and their students. Participants will receive The Undercover Economist: Exposing Why the Rich Are Rich, the Poor Are Poor--and Why You Can Never Buy a Decent Used Car! book by Tim Harford.
