I was just messing around looking at political stuff and came across the following test site. After playing around on it for a while I came across the option for taking some test questions.

Under the economics section, I found this question. Please tell me where/when this is discussed in Tapestry's government credit. Which year plan, week if you know it.

Question 1: Which of the following is a policy tool of the Federal Reserve?

A.
Raising or lowering income taxes

B.
Increasing or decreasing unemployment benefits

C.
Buying or selling government securities

D.
Increasing or decreasing government spending

Question 2: Describe two economic factors that help explain why one country may produce more goods and services per capita than another country does.

Hello!
I really would expect these things to be covered by an economics course rather than by a government course, so ToG probably won't address these issues directly. However, economics as it relates to history may touch on some of these ideas in year 4 (20th century). Perhaps someone from TOG will let us know. ToG does a great job of teaching gov't in a historical context, but does not directly teach economics. Hope this helps.

I know in Year 3 there is an option to take a couple weeks and read an Economics book. We did this.

Yes,
In Classic there was the option to read an Economics book as a focus for a couple of weeks. However, the same book will be an alternate in Redesign.
