Final Prep:
**I had promised to have the problem set posted on Thursday afteroon, and I did. Blogger then went down for some reason and they erased all of Thursday's new post. Anyway they had said they would restore the posts and they haven't. I apologize, this is kind of terrible timing.
Midterm #2
Problem set
Answers to the first sample final. We will over over both tests on Tuesday May 17th
There is some overlap with the homework, but I wanted to give you a complete final so you can get a sense of what they are like. Obviously there are no questions about the readings.
Final Chapters: 10, 12, 13, 14 (money), 15 ,15 appendix, and readings.

why is your hw, insanely hard. I have asked 2 high school economics teachers for help, and they both had no idea what was going on. Ive answered almost every question, however i am missing 2 questions, because no one understands them, and now your rules say if i skip those, i end up with a zero????? This is just plain wrong.
