At the start of every semester, I ask my students to list some of the top issues in finance. We’ll review the list at the end of the semester to see if the course gave them any insight. Here’s what students in the two sections of the course came up with:
AM Section
- Unionization and wage rates
- Obamacare
- Quantitative easing
- Pensions
- Municipal bankruptcy
PM Section
- Pensions
- Social Security
- Taxes
- Illinois in general
- Quantitative easing
- Balance of trade
- Healthcare
It will be interesting to see what’s up with the list in three months.
