My opinion

What is your overall opinion of the class this year? This class has went very well this year. I found the stock project very interesting even though I didnt do so well. I found out the big company's are not the always the best to invest in. I invested into yahoo and I lost a lot of money and I could not climb out of the hole I dug.

The book described everything very well and I strongly recommend it to the next generations coming up. I liked working in the book more than either other book. All in all I think that it was a great year and I have learned a lot in the class.

Communism was trying to put Capitalism out during the cold war. Communism in theory everyone would enjoy equal social and economic status. A communist by the name of Karl Marx tried to end Capitialism. Karl thought the only way to change was through a violent revolution. Karl Marx and his friend Friedreich Engels called this Scientific Socialism.
