This week students will be starting Chapter 4 which talks about the diverse economies in the world. We begin with the 5 economic questions: Who produces goods and services?; What are the goods and services being offered?; How are goods produced and how are services offered?; Where are the goods and services sent?; and How are goods and services distributed?  Then we look at the 4 economic resources: land; workforce; capital; and entrepreneurship.
