For the next few days, we will review the economy of Canada. The economical terms are the same as the terms we discussed in Europe. We will use pages 66-86 as a guide to create our own lessons to present to the class. The key vocabulary for the economics of Canada are: scarcity-traditional economy-command economy-quota-market economy-free enterprise-capitalism-laissez-faire-mixed economy-specialized-trade barriers-tariff-embargo-NAFTA-currency-reals-exchange rate-pesos-GDP-human capital. We have a turquoise sheet and a yellow sheet with both the economical terms and the governmental terms. You may use these sheets to review. Also,it is very important to use the resources on the blog. Use Canada on the blog to review and refresh your memory of Canada from day to day. Use Europe to review what we studied in 2012. You may also preview Latin America.
