In today's session, we wrap up our notes on Chapter 10 and hear from Mike about market failure. On Thursday, Daniel will discuss open access regimes. Additionally, Pamela will provide a brief report on the Mike Lewis talk. I have received inquiries regarding the Clayoquot Biosphere outline and will gather data on student commuting methods. Furthermore, I’m excited to share new book recommendations like *Meme Wars* by Kalle Lasn and *Half the Sky* by Kristof & WuDunn, which offer fresh perspectives on economics and social issues.
