Reading Economics in Bratislava

In an effort to broaden our knowledge in the subject of economics we will embark on a reading program to ensure each student is able to pursue topics which both interest and enlighten him/her. Each week you will read and report on an economics article of your choosing.  The article must come from a reliable source - several will be provided but you may submit new sources as you find them.  Your task each week is as follows:

1. find an article from the discipline of economics
2. read the article (and understand what it is saying)
3. write a short "report" on the article which should include:
   • briefly summarize the article in your owns words
   • explain what you learned and what you found most interesting about the topic
   • describe how it relates to general topics we have studied in class

Your "report" should be a minimum of 150 words in length and should include a link to the article as well as two pictures which assist in explaining the content of the article.

This assignment should be finished and posted on your blog by Friday of each week.
Please include the date of your posting in the title of your post.
