    I really appreciate this. Its a whole new way of teaching. If Economics would have been taught this way to me when I was in college I actually would have understood, paid attention, and I probably would have really learned something (instead of just memorizing for tests). So, Thank You.

    Very clear and creative presentation! Seeing how austerity is so popular with governments and people worldwide nowadays I think we're in to some interesting next 10 years. :S
