Tutor 2u resources
With such rapid change in the global economic environment it is often hard to keep on top of developments day-to-day. The Tutor2u economics blog has some great resources this week which might help.
The IMF report on the global economy was packed full with useful data and analysis.
Penny Brooks found this really useful decision-tree which outlines the options open to the Troika and Greek politicians.
Geoff Riley has also produced this PowerPoint presentation which has ten key macro charts for the Greek economy :
For matters closer to home, Michael Smalley has found these two videos which help bring you up to speed on the issues facing the UK economy;

Year 11now - starting Year 12 next year reminder!
New Year 12 2011-12 Economics Homework
Welcome
Following your pre sixth lessons we would like you to complete as homework over the summer holidays the following tasks, due to be handed in first day back:
ECON 1 - Write up a report explaining the main reasons why the price of oil has fluctuated in recent years and what you expect it to do next?
ECON 2 - Write a news article on: "Is the Government right to proceed with the pace and size of its government spending cuts?"
For both pieces of work refer to try to avoid normative (opinion based judgements) and instead use positive economics referring to research you have used, economic theories you might have discovered and economics data.
If you want to stretch yourself - see the 'Strech yourself' post. Please feel free to comment - ask for additional help.

Free event: Keynes v Hayek 26 July, London
A new event for Tuesday 26th July has been added to the LSE listing today, which is a debate to be chaired by Paul Mason, economics editor of BBC 2’s Newsnight (and author of Meltdown: The End of the Age of Greed) and recorded by BBC Radio 4 for broadcast later on 3rd August. Billed as a debate between modern day followers of the sharply contrasting ideas of Keynes and Hayek, one of the speakers will be Robert Skidelsky, Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at the University of Warwick, with others to be confirmed. Entry is free, and no tickets are required as it will be first-come-first-served. Source - Tutor2u Economics blog.
