ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE TOMORROW THURSDAY AUGUST 18TH AT 10 AM.

1) When we look at the issue of the ability of markets to function (hopefully well) what are some of the issues that factor into the fluctuation of markets, both on a domestic and global level? How does this affect us on a daily basis?

2) As often noted in the media, the federal government appears to be bound by decision making that is influenced by the different actors involved. These actors include political parties, lobbyists, political interest groups, and influential citizens, to name a few. As you reflect on this week’s readings, consider all the factors that may affect the ability of Congress to come to a consensus on healthcare reform and policy.
