Bell Ringer Assignment

  • According to Mr. Hartmann, what does classical economics suggest people at the bottom of the economy will do with their income? How does that effect the demand for goods and services?
  • Based on this theory, might raising the minimum wage stifle or stimulate the economy? Are there additional determining factors that may need to be considered (effect on small business, job numbers, inflation, etc)?
