National income and inequality
In this tutorial we will dig a bit into Thomas Piketty's popular "Capital in the 21st Century" that attempts to analyze the relationship(s) between economic growth, returns on capital and inequality. Our intent is to neither argue for nor against the ideas in the book, but rather use it as a tool for critical reasoning and discourse.
The 2008 Financial Crisis
In 2008, output stalled, unemployment increased, and things were generally going very badly. Then it got significantly worse. In this unit, we explore some of the causes and mechanics of the greatest challenge to the U.S. economy since the Great Depression.
