    “The four factors that determined current modern economy are land, labor, energy, and capital. These are also the four factors of production.” (Hill, 2011) Over the last 30 years, national economies shifted far from what they use to be.

    High Costs of Health Care & Affordable Care Act --GK

    In last two decades the world has seen almost all extreme scenarios of economic growth and collapse. The growth started with the communication boom in early 1990’s and followed by internet technologies; after a decade of world economy growth, it was the Lehman Brother collapse which brought down the world financial system to its knee.

    Commanding Heights: Battle of Ideas

    _The Commanding Heights: The Battle of Ideas_ episode explains the economy's change in structure between 1914 and 1970, as well as the functioning of the markets and government during that time. John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich von Hayek both had influential roles on the economy in the 20th century due to their opposing arguments regarding aggregate demand and classical liberalism, respectively. Keynes' "planned economy" idea and Hayek's "market economy" both fought to shape the economy into what they hoped was ideal for modern day society. Between the two, Keynes' argument seemed to have the most success, especially in times of great need, which is why I found his the most compelling.…

    The new rules of the game talked about a more recent global market. This episode related to our class material in multiple ways. I heard multiple economic vocab word used that helps relate to class material. First being bonds, which is a debt investment in which an investor loans money to an entity that borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a fixed interest rate. Balance sheet was another word used and that is an account statement for a bank that shows the sources of its funds as well as the uses of its funds. Central bank was also used a few times and the book defines that as a banker’s bank: an official bank that controls the supply of money in a country. Federal Reserve Bank was used also and that is one of the 12 regional banks that are an official part of the Federal Reserve System. The final word that I caught was money. The book defines money as any items that are regularly used in economic transactions or exchanges and accepted by buyers and sellers.…
