Case Study I: "Searching for the 'New Normal': The Business Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020" (page 467) or Case Study II: "The Happiness Minimum Wage: The Story of Dan Price and Gravity Payments" (page 479)
Question A. What were the initial advantages of shutting down the economy to combat the spread of Covid-19? Is there anything you would have done differently had you been the policy maker?
Question B. Do businesses have a "right" to operate?
Question C. Many people objected to restrictions imposed by their governors. American law protects the right of people to protest when they object. Some of these objectors elected to protest restrictions by violating them. If a salon owner opened their salon during the shutdown, were they simply exercising their constitutionally protected right to protest?
Question D. Should businesses have announced they were not going to pay rent? Is there a lesson here for landlords or tenants?
Question E. Should businesses have furloughed employees?
Question F. What is the business rationale for companies like Comcast and U-Haul giving away free services?
Question G. Should students have been charged full tuition once campuses closed?
Question H. In what sort of ways can post-pandemic businesses integrate what they have learned through the pandemic?
