Ideas for a short essay competition
7th December 2009
I want to give my students a chance to write a short essay over the next month or so - especially year 12 as a way of spreading their wings. Can anyone suggest additions to or amendments to this draft list of questions? There would be a 1,000 word limit to encourage crisp and fluent answers that don’t waffle!
What have we learned from the financial crisis?
Does British manufacturing have a future?
Can economics explain why one in five young drivers in the UK are uninsured ?
Does the size of the national debt matter?
Many economists have returned to Keynes for answers to the economic crisis. Are they right to do so?
