| Mr. Eagles in action |
Today SPS 2013 had their first economics class in the mini-seminar offered by SPS Faculty member Mr. Ted Eagles. In a roundtable
discussion, the SPSers were able to have their own version of a fiscal “Ted Talk.” Mr.
Eagles addressed baseline concepts such as GDP, consumer confidence and
globalization and even delved into the nuances of unemployment. Though students
analyzed some graphic data, Mr. Eagles pointed to some of the limitations of
running the numbers. The net result was an interesting first glimpse of domestic and international
trends by these future public servants and policy makers. (And kudos to Ben. P. for knowing China's current economic growth rate!)
