Kulturraumbezogene Wirtschaftsthemen, Homework for Thursday, May 4th

 For homework, please: 

- start looking for graphs and a core audience to center your second Teilleistung on. Bring any questions you have about the second Teilleistung to our Thursday session.

- have a look at the following five clips/videos (total run-time: approx. 35 minutes). They provide information and context about the state of the UK's economy and about the business of the monarchy. While watching these videos, I'd like you to think about the following question and ultimately come up with a concrete answer to it: do UK citizens and residents get a solid return on their investment when it comes to financing their monarchy? (Put differently: from a taxpayer's perspective, is financing the monarchy worth it?) Jot down information that relates to your "yes" or "no" answer and come to class with a firm thesis statement (i.e. "yes, because..." or "no, because..."):
