Do Assembly Lines Rerally Work?

Students were introduced to economics with a series of pictures that showed outlandish scenes: a booth at a beach with a sign saying “Sunset viewing- $10”, a shack amidst mansions, a small, local delivery company promising to deliver a package anywhere in the country within the day. All of these pictures demonstrated a certain economic principle that the students had to figure out. Since that introduction, we have made our own budgets, tested the efficieny of assembly lines by planning and implementing our own assembly line to make bookmarks, and have studied figures from Adam Smith to Henry Ford.
