Economics Editorial

The document provides guidelines for writing a newspaper editorial on whether the government should play a greater role in the American economy. It instructs the editor to choose a current issue, establish a clear thesis, support the position with facts and examples from research, and use persuasive language to engage readers while balancing emotional and factual appeals. A sample editorial is also provided on the topic of energy efficiency, arguing that improving efficiency in appliances, buildings, vehicles, and industrial processes through standards and incentives is an effective way to reduce emissions while saving consumers money.
