An Experiment

I'm going to try something new this semester.

A single class is going to read a book together.

The class is ECON 3020. It's titled Macroeconomics for Business Decisions. It's basically an intermediate macroeconomics class that is for both majors and non-majors.

The book is Knowledge and the Wealth of Nations: A Story of Economic Discovery by David Warsh. The book is on reserve in our library.

Each chapter of the book is divided up into subsections of several paragraphs. Each student will have to summarize one of these subsections, and build of the earlier summaries. During the semester, each student will have to do a bunch of these. In the end, we'll have a collective book summary.
