Can you see me (Powerpoint) now?

My detailed powerpoint on curve shifting in a Basic Supply and Demand graph.  This is a test to see if it embeds properly and people can see it without having to sign up at the site where it is posted.

Let me know in the comments if you can view it freely. Thanks!

    Gene, they both work fine with my Windows Vista and Firefox 18.0.2

    Know what I learned today? I learned that when they say demand increases, it means demand increases at EVERY GIVEN price. It means the whole curve shifts.

    (I always thought it meant you just move down the curve.)

    So I'm thinking now, "demand" is the current set of quantities we would demand for all possible prices... and "quantity demanded" is a point in that set or a point on that curve.

    I still have to assimilate this...

    Nice work.

      Thanks Art. Students have let me know on Facebook it can't be seen on I-pads or smartphones, the primary way they like to view things. Go figure.

      Teaching the changes in Demand/Supply as opposed to the changes in Quantity Demanded/Quantity Supplied is the bane of existence to every econ teacher---high school or college. There are a couple of ways to do it, but neither is adequate. It is just not an intuitive concept. I have found the way I explained it in these presentations is as close to ideal as I can get it, but still feel it falls short. To put it in econ terms, always trying to find that equilibrium. :)
