- The Call for Papers for the Searle Center’s Second Annual Research Symposium on The Economics and Law of the Entrepreneur (11-12 June 2009). I attended the first one and it was really great.
Bailout Bingo
| Peter Klein |
You’re probably familiar with Buzzword Bingo. Let’s create a version to accompany news reports, editorials, and political speeches on the financial-market and other bailouts. Keep a card with you as you read the newspaper, watch or listen to broadcast news, visit with Barney Frank, or follow the conversation at your next hoity-toity dinner party. Check off each term as you hear or read it and shout “Bingo!” when you have five in a row, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Here’s a sample card. Please add suggestions for additional words and phrases in the comments.
