Well, the AP test is done and we're all so happy to know that we don't have to worry any more right? Wrong...we still have to worry about economics every day.

Here is an article about saving money while going to college. We all know that it's an investment but just how much is it going to cost us to go to the university of our choice. And for those of us who have to pay for it ourselves how can we make it a little less expensive?

Economics in Sweeny Todd

I'm sure this title got some people's attention (Marty) but I really just got the brilliant idea to show economics through the example of Sweeny Todd. As anyone who's seen the movie Sweeny Todd knows, the main characters (Ms. Lovett and Sweeny Todd) kill patrons of the baber shop and then bake them into pies in the meat pie shop. I see this killing of patrons as an increase in the supply of meat. Since human meat has a different taste, Ms. Lovett no longer makes "The Worst Pies in London" and an increase in demand is caused. Now I know that Sweeny Todd is not a typical "economic topic" but I thought it applied in this instance.
