4th Quarte Project

Economics Project-Quarter 4

You have two options this quarter. If you would like the standard research project and are tired of working in groups, you may choose to research the lives of three top economists-Keynes, Marx, and Adam Smith. In your research you will compare the lives, ideas, and impact of these three economists. Because these economists have supported revolutions, both violent and nonviolent, and because you are at a college level now, this research paper must be from 12-18 pages in length. More details will be forthcoming.

The other topic is to research the present and future impact of the giant and developing economies of India and China. By nature, economics is a predictive social science. In other words, it takes the data and observations of the past and it uses these ideas to predict future behavior, either on the micro or on the macro level. Your job in this research paper will be to predict the macro-economic impact of these quickly developing economies over the next 10, 20, and 50 years. This topic is also a significant topic to consider, so it must be treated thoroughly. The research report must be 15-20 pages. More details will be forthcoming.
