September 28


I did a homework check on the "Philosophies of Industrialism" booklet at the beginning of class today. Your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow. We looked at connections between industrialization, classical liberalism, laissez faire economics and reform movements today. I talked about how the Industrial Revolution saw the emergence of ideologies in response to classical liberalism, such as ideologies on the left, like socialism and communism and ideologies on the right, like conservatism. I talked about the emergence of welfare capitalism and modern liberalism in response to inequalities caused by classical liberalism. If you missed today's class, you need to get notes from a classmate. We re-visited the boom and bust cycle as well today. If you understand the "economic snapshots" of the economy at the various stages of the business cycle, then you will have a greater understanding of Keynesian economics and government responses to economic situations along the boom and bust cycle and the rationale behind the use of monetary and fiscal policy. We'll be dealing with Keynesian economics (demand-side economics) for most of the rest of this week. I promise you will all understand it.

I went through a PowerPoint presentation today that focused on "The Causes of World War I". I have sent this presentation to you already, please print it off (4-6 slides per page) and add it to your notes.
