To satisfy the American Institutions requirement, I took ECON 1740, Economic History of the U.S, in the Spring 2017 semester.
It is my very first semester back to school after almost a decade long pause from higher education. I wanted to start with a bang, and, if possible, with interesting topics. I needed the course to count, because I'm not messing around this turn I have at college.
I chose ECON 1740 over other courses that might fulfill the requirement, because the topic interested me. Going in, I expected to cover the same US History I know and love from my AP US History class in high school, only from an economic perspective.
The assignment I link below is entitled "Free or Equal." The assignment was to answer a few questions after watching a video based on the ideas of Milton Friedman, with comparisons of the levels of economic freedom enjoyed by several different countries, as well as some of their outcomes.
