2006 IGP:  Geopolitics of the USA: The Economy

Instructor: Dr. Jim Poole

Our economy is one of our country’s most important characteristics. It dwarfs most other economies (except possibly China) in world affairs while providing our fellow citizens a very high standard of living. What makes

our economy work? What part does the banking system play in this process? What does the Fed do?

What about our current budget deficit? Is it like your household budget? What about inflation? These

are just some issues that will be addressed in this discussion.

Location:  Inn at Garden Plaza, 2520 International Circle, Colorado Springs, CO 80910
