How to study this deck

Economics slides love graphs. Before accepting any conclusion, identify the axes, the model's assumptions, and the variables held constant. The conclusion follows from the model, not from the world.

Undergraduate viewers should treat this as a scaffolding for deeper reading — the slides outline the territory, but the textbook chapters and primary sources remain the actual content.

Five questions to test your understanding

  1. What is the single most important claim on the first three slides, and what evidence is offered for it?
  2. Which slide could you remove without losing the argument? Which slide is load-bearing?
  3. Where does the deck switch from definitions to applications? Mark that transition.
  4. What would a student who already disagreed with the conclusion need to see to be convinced?
  5. Which two slides, if combined, would give the clearest one-slide summary of the whole deck?
