__//Task #1://__ This post should be a total of at least 1 solid paragraph:**
 * Within each TEAM, one member will be delegated the responsibility of creating a new post on this page (discussion tab above).
 * Focus: Who was the economist for whom your team is named? (ie. background information, when, where, what did he accomplish?, interesting stories or trivial facts about him...)
 * If no member of a team submits the first paragraph on time, all team members will unfortunately receive a point deduction.

__//Task #2://__
 * All other team members (those who do not create the original post) must then post a well thought out 1 paragraph reply to at least one of the 8 original posts.**
 * Focus: Provide some additional information to help us better understand who the economist was and/or what he contributed to the field or to how we explain how we deal with the world around us. Also, evaluate where you would rank this economist (1-8) among the 8 economist namesakes and briefly explain why you would rank him there.

__//The 8 Team Names, in ABC order://__ Friedman, Galbraith, Keynes, Malthus, Marshall, Marx, Ricardo, Smith
