To complete the assignment, write a brief summary of the current event covered in the article you selected. Be sure to cite at least one statistic from the article in your summary. Within the summary, identify two economic concepts present in the article. Use the specific class terms in context, placing the terms in Bold Font for identification, and use their appropriate definitions as written in the textbook. Discuss how and why you think the current event reflects the specific economic concepts you have identified, and how these concepts help you to understand the event. The economic terms must be from the textbook and they must be covered within the chapters covered to-date in the class. Lastly, given the concepts you selected, what is a limitation of these terms or something about this current event that these concepts do not address?

Place the Article Information in the Title Row of your assignment. The article information should be reported in APA format.

Last, F. M. (Year, Month Date Published). Article title. Newspaper Title. Retrieved from Http://www.newspaper.article.com (Links to an external site.)

Each submission should be approximately 300-500 words.

For optimal points, be sure to write your response in paragraph form, paraphrasing and summarizing the events discussed in the article. Your essay should be a self-contained product, such that anyone could read your post and understand it without referring to the prompt.

Lastly, the essay should not be overly reliant on quotes. Quotes should only be used when paraphrasing is not possible. Remember the assignment is to write a response to the question not to copy and paste one together.
