Some of you have already started on this, and that’s fine. Please read an item from the Topic 3 Reference List, and write a summary about what the reading contributes to our understanding of Classical Economics. Include complete bibliographic information about the source. Also, indicate whether you would recommend others read this reference as a source of information about Classical Economics. Please publish your summary on your blog by Thursday night, if possible.
This seminar is designed to be a quasi-collaborative adventure. Are you game?
