This weeks Super Starter Sunday uses a short video to help get students to think about how to improve the four factors of production.
This video looks at how New York City’s mayor Michael Bloomberg is trying to encourage smaller businesses to build up the economy in the wake of the corporate US meltdown.
Following the video the class could be divided in small groups (2/3 students). Give each group one of the four factors of production. Each group must make a list of ways which their factor of production could be improved, either by increasing the quantity or the quality.
