Post Lesson 1/Pre Lesson 2

Folks,

First here is my question for your journal (which you can replace either questions 2 or 3 with): We tend to think of costs as the money we pay for things. But does that mean that there would be no costs in a primitive society that did not yet use money or in a modern cooperative community, where people collectively produce the goods and services they use and do not charge each other for them?

Remember that your 3 standard questions are:
  1. What was the thesis of this reading?
  2. What was your biggest takeaway or what/how does this apply to your interests? (If you don’t know where to go here I will email a question for thought before each lesson).
  3. What don’t you understand or what objection do you have?
Second, here are my thoughts on todays lesson:

I really enjoyed class. It took us a little while to get going but once we got started it was awesome. Note that without your contribution this class will be terribly boring. On any given day I really encourage you to bring in a question or thought that might be buggin you and challenge your classmates and I to figure out how/what econ has to say about these things.
