Tracking the Economy


Economics/Mr. Gurney
Article Summary Assignment

One of the goals of this class is for you to build those skills which enable you to
understand the developments and application of economic theory in regard to the world economy
that will shape the remainder of your life. In order to do that, you must develop and maintain a
cognitive map of the daily events that shape our world. As a result, each week you will be asked
to find a connection between the daily news reported and the economic concepts/themes studied
in class. By clipping out news articles from business publications/newspapers (Wall Street
Journal, Business Week, NY Times, Investors Business Daily, The Journal News, etc.), you will
apply current news stories to any of the six units (*see course syllabus) that we are covering in
this course.

This is an article that I have chosen to apply to this course:
