Do: Discussion Board Module 09 (Pre- and post-replies)

  1. After completing Module 08, begin Module 09 by offering your first thoughts to one (1) of the questions in the next module.  No preparation is needed, and you automatically earn 2 points.
  2. After completing Module 09, read through the pre-learning thoughts of your classmates and help a classmate in another group expand on those thoughts.  Earn up to an additional 8 points by using assigned materials to build out those pre-learning thoughts and arrive at a well-developed answer. Include page references from Common Sense Economics (2010) and a reference to an assigned video or podcast to support your work in order to earn full credit.
  3. The questions follow. (Please copy and paste the question into your reply.  It makes grading easier; thanks!)
  • Last names beginning with A-M:  Democracy provides ordinary citizens with protection against the excessive power of business and labor groups. Is this statement true or false? Explain.   
  • Last names beginning with N-Z:  Does the democratic political process provide politicians with a strong incentive to spend tax funds wisely and control the growth of government debt?
