So my agenda with this Presentation is to
1) Provide you with some basic economic concepts and the language with which to think and talk about the consequences of proposed “solutions”.
2) Show you some examples of “nice ideas” that have backfired, and talk about why they were predictable.
3) Give you some key questions to ask in order to think beyond the sound bite, and understand the consequences and incentives that would be put in play
4) And then we’ll open up the floor for questions and discussion.
Along the way, interrupt me if you have questions, or if I float something that you do not understand.
