My favourite economist died aged 94 :( All you younguns unfortunately dont get to hear too much from him because the HSC course is a particularly leftist course based on out of date keynesian principles. I would encourage those who have an interest in economics to check out what Milton...

I just want to get an indication of how people went? I thought that given the amount of stuff in the course, the final exam was very friendly. Being able to choose essays was a real bonus allowing me to only study the topics I could do. I chose to do classical model open economy...

Hey guys, just a note regarding your essays. Ive read a few, and have the following to say about marking criteria, guidelines etc, to help you people out. Note that the title is "make a good essay great" not "make a bad essay great", so i guess the point is that if you're not 100% with...
