Welcome to Government Spending!

Celebrating Spirit Week, here is my cat Sebastian bothering me during a conference call. #PioneerPride

Now that we’ve learned market failures, it’s time to move into government spending. The government spends money for two reasons: to fix market failures and to achieve economic goals (remember those from Chapter 2?).

As we’ve been doing for the last few chapters, having you read about the concepts before we dive into teaching it helps you to understand what we’re talking about. You can see this assignment on Google Classroom (https://classroom.google.com/u/2/w/NTMzNjMzMDYzMjVa/tc/NTczNDMzMDU0OTZa) or you can just make a copy off Google Docs (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DmLoXmAjxM9xCTjf9973Cc_LARJlqcK1fbGx8VaqqH8/edit?usp=sharing). This is a little shorter than other chapters and will be due Friday, April 3 at 11:59pm. The instructions are below.

Read Chapter 10 of the textbook (pages 260-287 in the paper copy; pages 281- 308 in the digital copy). Use the information to answer the questions in the attached doc.
