Discussion Assignment Part 1: Due on or before Friday, November 3rd (6 points). Between now and Nov. 3rd, select an article from newspapers or journals (example: The New York Times, The Economist, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, etc.) that relate to a Microeconomic concept that we are studying in this class. The story obviously need not be directly about economic theory but can contain ideas that relate to the concepts being studied, or can be analyzed using economic principles. In particular you will find many stories that relate to the last few chapters on international issues, global markets, etc. Provide a link to the article for others to read, and in a paragraph or two - summarize the article, analyze the content and show how it relates to the concepts being studied. Provide any additional comments if you wish.
