Activity Overview
In "Money for Nothing," an armored truck carrying cash is hijacked and held for ransom. The hijacked money was intended to be used for 'microcredit.' Charlie explains that microcredit generates more money because as people buy and sell goods, money is distributed and more people have cash to spend and invest.
Students will conduct a simulation to demonstrate microcredit.
