I mentioned that I built this course in a way that will expose you to important and highly relevant, principal, economic ideas and terms. My hope is that, after taking my course, newspaper articles and commentary analyzing the general workings of the economy will become easier for you to understand.
With that hope in mind, I’ve chosen FED Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference from Dec 2021. It’s roughly an hour long.

…I know, one hour is a long time, so I understand if you can only focus on parts of it. Here’s a website that gives you a full recap of the speech, if that helps.

After going through this all the best you can, please discuss your impression or key understanding, what struck you the most, from what you heard about our current economy. As this is your final board, I’m looking forward to reading how well you have developed your critical thinking in economics and how comfortable you are in describing, in your own words, news from our current economy.
