Home » Store » Project Based Economics » The President’s Dilemma

During an economic crisis involving oil price shocks, inflation, and unemployment, the President of the U.S. asks his economic advisors for a recommendation on fiscal and monetary policy. Interest groups weigh in—unemployed middle-class workers, retired people, and big-business representatives—as the advisors consider both supply-side and demand-side options and the costs and benefits of various solutions.
