Hello! If you are the average college student out there, the COVID-19 crisis has forced you to move off-campus and move into virtual classrooms. There is no doubt that this pandemic has drastically altered you and your community's normal course of life, and much of it, for the worse. However, as you hunker down and figure out new routines, think about the news around you as a series of incredible economic learning/teaching moments. You have the opportunity to be a real-time student of the unprecedented events unfolding right now.
For a while, I thought the Financial Crisis (2007-09) would be the most dramatic period I would be teaching about in my Economics classrooms. And although we are still in the early stages of this phenomenon, the COVID-19 Crisis (2020-?) will likely prove me wrong.
So let's stay safe, healthy, and intellectually engaged. I will be posting timely articles, reading, and other media that helps you understand and think critically about the socio-economic consequences of the Corona virus pandemic. I welcome your comments, thoughts, ideas, and feedback!
