Economics

In your initial post, share your thoughts on the personal history of A. W. Phillips. What is most striking to you about Phillips' background? Is there another person (famous economist or otherwise) that you know of who also had a surprising back story that you would like to share?

Also, comment on the MONIAC machine Phillips built. If you can design a machine to represent an economic relationship or theory that you have learned, which theory would it be? What would the machine look like? The sky's the limit here :)

This discussion forum is "post-first," meaning that you will need to submit your initial post before you can view and respond to the posts from your classmates.
