Harper College will offer a free public mini-economics lesson early next year aimed at untangling the confusion surrounding the general state of the economy, the financial market, and employment trends in 2011.

The “Market Update and Outlook” seminar, hosted by Harper Economics Professor Getachew Begashaw, is at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 19, and noon Thursday, Jan. 20 in Room A242, Building A on the college's main campus, 1200 W. Algonquin Road in Palatine. The presentation is open to all. Begashaw will flesh out the relationships between the recession, national debt, economic growth and unemployment, and will tackle the future of other general economic concepts, from bailouts to gross domestic product.
