Dear class, we're gonna look at start our discussion about the philosophy of money, banking and wealth. We'll begin by looking at some of the economic stimulus proposals being discussed to mitigate COVID-19 (see links below).

I've also set up a discussion forum on our Blackboard for this class. Make sure you check in with that discussion and participate by posting at least one comment and at least one response to someone else's comments. Try to do this before our next class on Monday.
