Today in class, students watch the video Malcolm Gladwell (click on link to video to watch). After viewing the video, students wrote responses to the following questions:

1.According to Gladwell, what influences market fluctuations in the food industry?

2.How has the food industry changed in regards to its “economic thinking”?(Hint: examine the 3 questions of economic thinking – 1.1)

3.How does this TED Talk relate to the Invisible Hand?

Students then turned in their written responses.

Students had the rest of the period to work on taking notes for 2.2.
