Economic collapse and Inflation: Reflective post #3
Submitted by William MacFarlane on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 03:03.
So it has been quite a journey. Six out of ten blog posts have been posted, the rough draft of the E-pitch has been written, and I barely got any sleep. But anyway, about the E-pitch or better known as the Elevator pitch, was not difficult, but more of a stress kind of thing where you think "Oh, geez, I have to do THIS on top of everything else." It wasn't that easy either. I had to write in everything about Inflation and economic collapse onto a paper, a paper that I'd have to turn into someone who is a professional at the topic. My change agent, an economic professor at Drexel e-mailed me back, and said he'd be glad to look at the e-pitch, but he's in San Diego. E-mail is a great tool.
Referring to the previous paragraph, I first thought of doing an imovie for the e-pitch, since that's how everyone else did theirs. Immediately, I checked iMovie. Obviously, I didn't think through the choices. I looked back at the choices and decided to do a written report, since I'm pretty strong in the writing, and a bit shy in front of the camera.
Now that the entire e-pitch has been explained, let's move onto research. My research has been very good, and easy to find. Probably because inflation is such a worldly issue. But I've been able to find some good articles, videos, and information of inflation. Mostly stuff about interviews -- with well-known economic persons -- articles on why inflation happens, and a helpful video on what inflation is, even though it is from the 60's.
Yes, it has been a journey, but an interesting, educational, and sleep deprived one.
