The document discusses the key principles of economics as outlined by Adam Smith. It states that economics is a method of analysis rather than a set of conclusions, and helps the possessor draw correct conclusions. It also discusses Smith's observation of the pin factory, where he saw that the division of labor, where each person specializes in a small aspect of production, is a key source of wealth for nations. Specialization and the division of labor allows people to focus on what they do best and increase their productivity.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. The Theory of Economics does not furnish a body of
settled conclusions immediately applicable to policy. It
is a method rather than a doctrine, an apparatus of the
mind, a technique of thinking which helps its possessor
to draw correct conclusions.
经济学的理论并不包括一组已经被认证的结论可以即刻
用于解释政府的决策。
它是一个方法而不是一个教条。它是人思想发出的工具,
是一种思考的技术,
让拥有人能够用它后达到正确的结论。
(From: The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money)

16. 6 basic concepts that you will see
again, and again, and again, and
again, throughout your whole time in
class.
Basic ideas of Economics
17. 1.) Resources are
Scarce.
Land
Labor
Capital
Entrepreneurship
- the quantity available is
not large enough to satisfy
all productive uses and all
of people’s desires.
- there is not enough stuff
for everyone.
- Unlimited wants, limited
resources.
Basic ideas of Economics
18. Scarcity – An example…
A society that has 500 children is threatened by
a disease that strikes only children.
A medical company has made a pill that
reduces the chances of getting the disease from
90% to only 10%.
The company is only able to produce 300 pills
right now.
If parents can get more than one pill it reduces
the chance of their child dying by even more.
How do you allocate分配 the pills?
How do you decide who gets pills?
21. 2.) Trade - Offs
The big trade off in society is
between
efficiency and equality.
- Making decisions requires
trading one thing for another
效率 平等
1.) Resources are Scarce.
Basic ideas of Economics
22. “There is no such thing as a free lunch”
you don't get something for nothing
鱼与熊掌不可兼得
2.) Trade – Offs …..
26. Are you will to accept the trade
off of the pollution created to
make it all?
27. 1.) Resources are Scarce.
2.) Trade - Offs
3.) Opportunity Costs - The real cost of something
is what you must give up to
get it.
*** The next option – not every
single option
Basic ideas of Economics
28. Everything has a Cost
To an economist, everything has a value that
you can be measured by ho much you give up
of something else.
How much are the following worth to you?
--- A pen.
--- A coffee cup
--- Your pet
--- Your time
--- Your finger
--- A human life

--- A human life
Even human life has a value…
30. Someone has to decide how
many number of police to have,
security, etc…
How many police is enough?
Is your life worth the extra
resources?
31. 3.) Opportunity Costs …..
Making decisions requires individuals to consider the benefits
and costs of some action.
每一项决策是有成本的
What you must give up when you make a decision
Examples:
--- I decide to come here today.
--- I decide to work on my lesson plans last night.
--- I decide to spend time with my daughter.
--- I decided to move to China.
34. 1.) Resources are Scarce.
2.) Trade - Offs
3.) Opportunity Costs
4.) Marginal Thinking - Means an additional one, the
measurement from one unit to

“It is not from the benevolence
of the butcher, the brewer, or the
baker, that we can expect our
dinner, but from their regard to
their own interest”
“这不是从仁的屠夫,酿酒商,或
面包师,我们可以期望我们的晚
餐,但他们关于自己的兴趣”
Adam Smith’s famous book
The Wealth of Nations
To be rational is
also to be selfish
and this is good
for society.
62. You are at a store about to buy a fancy new notebook. It costs
100RMB. Before you buy it, your friend calls from a store 30
minutes away, that is selling the same notebook for 50MB. Would
you drive to the other store to get the cheaper price?
Ex: Rational Behavior and Self-Interest
You buy the cheaper
book right? Save 50%
of the price right?
63. Ex: Rational Behavior and Self-Interest
You are at a car dealership about to buy a new car. It costs 380,000RMB.
Before you buy it, your friend calls from a car dealership 30 minutes
away, that is selling the same car for 379,950RMB. Would you drive to
the other store to get the cheaper price?
You don’t buy the
cheaper car,
seems silly right?
64. Ex: Rational Behavior and Self-Interest
Both choices save you the
EXACT same about of
money!
$50
So why is one worth
doing more then the
other? Both = $50
Point is being perfectly
rational isn’t always so
obvious
66. 1.) Resources are Scarce.

68. In his book he asked a very
simple question. “Why are some
nations wealthily and some
nations are poor?”
69. He visited a pin factory
and discovered an answer
This is a pin
70. Adam Smith as a moral philosopher, was:
‘to do nothing but observe everything’
In observing a pin factory he saw a key the
wealth was the Division of Labor
71. Adam Smith as a moral philosopher, was:

wealth was the Division of Labor
By dividing up the tasks into specializations, each
person was more productive = more output =
more wealth
72. Think of a pencil….
For an interesting
example of this in action
73. It takes an entire planet to make a simple
pencil
74. It takes an entire planet to get the
resources to create, design, and ship a
pencil all around the world, and for such a
cheap price.
