Tactic Publications will shortly be contacting all schools to promote their series of teaching slides (developed in Powerpoint) for use by
Economics teachers. The first set of slides has been written for the macroeconomics chapters of the Discovering Economics text (7th
edition).
Each chapter has between 30 and 40 slides that address key concepts in the chapter. Many slides have notes that expand on the information in
the slide. Others use ‘animations’ to help teachers explain steps in understanding a concept or skill, such as the calculation of an index
number in the slides about inflation.
The copyright status of the slides is CC-BY-NC. This license allows reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any
medium or format for non-commercial purposes only, and only so long as attribution is given to the creator. In other words, teachers can add
or change the slides for their own use.
The slides will be available from July at www.tacticpub.com.au.
The price for the set of 7 Unit 2 chapters is $70. A free sample set (the inflation chapter) is available now. Slides for the Unit 1
chapters of the book are currently in development and will be available later in the year.

Date: Friday 13 May, 2022 Time: 4.00pm - 5.15pm Venue: Online (Registrations close Friday 13 May at 10:00am. A link to the event will be emailed Friday morning of the event.) Cost: This event is free but registrations are essential Abstract The government elected May 21 will be confronted by high government debt, rising interest rates, slow productivity growth, and serious tensions with our major trading partner, China. The global economy, too, presents challenges to Australia, including war in Europe, hostility between China and the United States, inflation, slowing workforce and productivity growth in the major economies, and adjustment to climate change. How will the new government respond to these challenges, and how will they affect jobs, incomes, wealth, and what we may expect from governments over the next decade? About the Speaker John Edwards is an adjunct professor at the JCIPP, a senior fellow with the Lowy Institute, and a former member of the board of the Reserve Bank. He was a long-time chief economist for HSBC Australia, and a former senior economic adviser for treasurer and then prime minister Paul Keating. The first volume of John’s two volume biography of John Curtin, Curtin’s War, won the 2019 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for history. He is now an independent director on the board of the superannuation fund Cbus, where he is a member of the Investment Committee and chair of the Risk Committee. He is also on the board of asset consultant Frontier Advisors. |
