European textbooks were revised after World War II to reduce ethnic and national stereotypes and to give a fairer portrayal of Europe's various nations. What about the textbooks you used to learn your country's history?

Did they give an accurate picture, or did they overstate the virtues of your own ethnic group or nation at the expense of others? How?
What will be an ideal response?

1. Outline what the textbooks used were like in their portrayal of ethnic groups and nations.
2. Compare and contrast the textbooks used to learn the country's history and the character provided of post-World War II European textbooks. If possible, students should cite examples from each.

Why does the partisan model of macroeconomic policy predict that changes in partisan control of the government will lead to predicable changes in fiscal policy?

A. It doesn’t; the partisan model of macroeconomic policy is about whether voters are extreme or moderate.Extreme voters want redistribution and moderate voters do not. B.
