Do You Know Much
About Economics ?
(This message is reprinted
from a three-page advertise
ment sponsored by the Busi
ness Round Table which
appeared in the June, 1975
issue of the Readers Digest.)
The following is Part Two of
Two Parts. Part One appeared
. in the Oct. 29th edition of
this newspaper.
You’re deeply involved in
economics whether you’ve
ever taken a course in it or
not. Every time you buy a
can of beans or collect a
paycheck or put $20 in your
savings account, you affect
not only your own economic
life, but the lives of others.
Yet, many of us have only a
vague understanding of
“where the money goes” and
“who gets what”. How well
do YOU know the system of
which you’re a part? Circle
the correct answer to the
following questions and see
how you score.
(6) Why do professional
baseball stars earn so much
more than steelworkers or
even lawyers? (a) Sports are
vital to the economy, (b)
Good athletes are scarce and
their services are in great
demand, (c) Baseball is the
national sport, (d) Players
have a powerful national
bargaining agent.
(7) Which of these invest
ments is the riskiest for you?
(a) Savings accounts, (b)
Corporate bonds, (c) Stocks,
(d) Life insurance,
(8) What was the single
biggest factor in raising the
middle-income American
family’s cost of living last
year. (A) Food, (b) Taxes, (c)
Housing, (d) Fuel.
(9) Which of the following
most accurately describes a
recession? (a) Spending by
business and consumers
slackens, (b) Bottom falls out
of the stock market, (c) There
are more jobs than workers,
(d) Government tax receipts
rise.
(10) In the American econ
omic system, the type and
quantity of goods produced
are determined largely
through (a) governmental
regulation, (b) price fluctu
ations on Wall Street, (c) the
interaction of supply and
demand, (d) corporate decis
ions.
ANSWERS
(6) (b) Baseball stars draw
big salaries because their
talents are scarce, and their
services are sought after.
That’s supply and demand.
(7) (c) The greatest risk, but
potentially the greatest re
ward, is investing in stocks.
When you buy a share of a
business and it flourishes,
