Homework Post #4

So it probably won't surprise you that many of the things I put up here are what I am doing in my class.  So while it is still a long time until school starts, when I give my students their occasional assignment on using the news to highlight what we are doing in class, here is an article I will give as an example as it discusses why the price of coffee will be going up soon as the supply curve is shifting leftwards due to disease and drought in Brazil.  If you need to know why supply shifts, watch this video (as the coffee bean is an input).
