Oxymorons: Carnival of economics


It would be an oxymoron, were it a material carnival — but it’s a virtual carnival, right?

The Boring Made Dull hosts the XXXVIIth Carnival of Economics and Social Policy.

I’ve ignored economics a bit on this blog lately.  For you Texas high school economics teachers, the kids who need to pass economics have just realized they can graduate, and they’re going to get a little frantic thinking economics is hard and may stand in the way of their graduation march.  Perhaps you can find something in the carnival that will help you make the dismal science, less dismal for them.

For example, start with a good warm-up exercise that ought to fill one of the requirements on personal finance that is new this year:  10 Ways Retailers Make You Pay More.  It’s at the bottom of the carnival listings.  The others cover the housing bubble, health care, nutrition, philanthropy, and the Fed.  You’ll find something there you can use.
