History Rhymes:
We have been looking at the US historical experience through the economic lens. This essay will be an in depth look at an economic issue from 2007-2020 and an in depth look at an economic issue from 1680-2000. The essay should show us how history doesn’t repeat itself exactly (that would require a time machine) but it often revisits the same economic issues in a slightly different context.
The essay should take a contemporary event from the recent past and compare and contrast (compare and contrast means to talk about the similarities AND the differences) that event to one in the more distant past. The analysis should include economic theory (a set of equations based on the assumptions of a model), statistics that support your theory, graphs showing the changes in the relative metrics for the event(s) chosen, and, of course, the elucidation of the story you are presenting
