Your paper submission will incorporate concepts introduced in the Voices on the Economy PDF (Chapter 3) posted earlier this semester.  Chapter 3 presents three different points of view:  Conservative, Radical, and Liberal.  You will present each of these points of view in a balanced, objective manner as you identify policies for a specific area.  At the bottom of this detailed description, I have embedded the chapter reading, two templates and a list of policy areas for you to consider.
Below are the specifications and grading rubric for the assignment. 
File Format:  DOC/DOCX, PDF, RTF, and TXT formats are acceptable.  No other file format will be accepted.
Submission Directions:  The file should be attached as a Blackboard Assignment Submission.  Email attachments or links to cloud storage will NOT be accepted. 
Deadline:    November 21st at 11 PM.  Late assignments will face a penalty (Minimum penalty 25%. Maximum penalty 100%: if I’ve graded all the papers and your work is submitted it will earn 0%).
Length:      500 to 1,250 Words (excluding citations)
Citations:  You need to cite your sources within the body of your submission.  If you use APA format I’ll be happy.  You might want to review the FORMATTING NOTE below to avoid unnecessary work.  You can also see the student template embedded below for guidance.
Structure/Content:  See attached templates for details.  For each of the three perspectives (Conservative, Radical and Liberal) provide the goals, specific policies and anticipated results.  The goals and anticipated results should be presented in paragraph format.  The policies should be listed as bulletized items.
Grading:  In general, your grade will be based on how effective and interesting your submission is.  If it is both effective and interesting you can expect a grade above 90%.  If it is strong in either but not both of these categories you can expect a grade above 80%.  If it is neither effective nor interesting your grade will be above or below 70%.  As I grade your assignment submission I’ll be assigning points according to the following distribution:
30 pts  Structure and Composition  (Was the submission readable, effective and interesting?)
10 pts  Use of Required Source Material (Voices on the Economy PDF Chapter 3 reading)
Did the submission incorporate concepts (especially in the goals section) of
the different economic perspectives?
50 pts  Use of economic resources and basic ECO 251/252 Concepts     
Was the submission based on sound economic concepts and data?
10 pts  Balanced Presentation     
Did the submission present the three points of view in a balanced fashion?
100 pts TOTAL
FORMATTING NOTE: As mentioned above, if you use APA format I’ll be more than happy.  But to prevent you from going overboard with formatting, let me clarify what I’m looking for: I want you to cite your source material within the body of your paper.  I’m not focused on spacing, marginals, headings or flourishes.  Source material must be documented in your paper by citing author/date.  Just listing the sources at the end of the paper is not sufficient. The underlying principle is that the ideas and words of others must be formally acknowledged in your paper. To do this you want to mention the author/date in the body of the paper and include a list of references following your paper. If you are familiar with APA citation format, it fully captures what I want to see. Here are two general situations (each with single and multiple authors) to guide you: 
A. When the names of a source are part of a sentence in your paper, the year of the publication you used should appear in parentheses following the author(s) name. This helps flag the citation and it allows you to easily use multiple works by the same author.  Consider the following examples:
Kelton (2020) has found that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply.
Kelton and Bejsovec (2020) have found that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply.
Kelton and others (2020) have found that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply.
B. When the names of a source are not part of a sentence in your paper but you have used their work, the author name(s) and year of publication can appear in parentheses. Examples:
Research has shown that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply (Kelton and Bejsovec, 2020).
Research has shown that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply (Kelton and others, 2020).
Research has shown that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply (Kelton 2020)
Following your paper, you’ll list the sources.  Again, I’m not a stickler on format but I do want to be able to find the article.
