Now in large print - easier to read for students and adults. The current state of affairs has been called a "financial tsunami," a "financial ice age," and "the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression." Our first question needs to be, "Is it?" Our next question might be, "How did we get here?" As someone who enjoys the study of both history and economics, I see these questions as both important and interlinked I put this brief annotated time-line together initially for my own study, and to share with my students. I soon found that many others around me were asking similar questions...

For many young writers the most difficult part of their task is getting started. They want to write. (Or someone else wants them to write ) But they don't know where to begin.
