Whatever Happened to 'Discover Economics with Paul Solman'?

*Paul Solman produced a set of videos to teach the basics of economics in 2004 to accompany McGraw-Hill's introductory textbooks. This comes from "[**The Basics of Graphing**](http://www.mhhe.com/economics/solman_video_mov/thousand_basicgraph.mov)."* *Paul Solman frequently answers questions from the NewsHour audience on business and economic news here on the [**Making Sen$e**](http://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/makingsense/) page. Here is Thursday's query:* **Name: Charles Chavez** **Question:** A few years ago I purchased a class set of McConnell-Brue's macroeconomics textbooks. Included was a disk explaining concepts in a manner that was easily understood by high school seniors. Do you have a current edition disk that I can purchase to show my students? **Paul Solman:** No, the only disk ever made was the one you used. It is still played in classrooms around the country. It can be purchased online for about $25, according to Amazon, with used copies going for as little at $9. All four-plus hours of videos are also online, in a discouragingly small format, [**here**](http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/9970960097/student_view0/paul_soloman_videos.html). _As usual, look for a second post early this afternoon. But please don't blame us if events or technology make that impossible._ *In the meantime, please note that this entry is cross-posted on the [**Rundown**](http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/)- NewsHour's blog of news and insight.*
