The venerable Circular Flow model is getting long in the tooth. It excludes the government sector, has nothing to say about economic growth, ignores the behavior aspect of economics and is rooted in the present while the economy is forward-looking.
The Webinar is about a new teaching model of the economy called the Production, Property, and Power Model. This updated model of the circular flow connects the usual production/consumption to the savings and investment activity in the economy and the government sector of the modern economy. Four representative characters (representing consumers, entrepreneurs, bankers and politicians) in the model illustrate how the cycles of production, investment and tax/spend government choices interact and strive to reach a balance.
