http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hernando_de_Soto_%28economist%29

* Hernando de Soto is a leading economist who advocates land titles for farmers in order to recognize capital investments for building homes and businesses

* Also look up Grameen Foundation or Grameen Bank. The founder just won a Nobel Prize for successful programs in microcredit financing, which provide long term solutions to ending poverty by building stable economies through financing and educating local business owners.

* John Forbes Nash, Jr.
1994 Nobel Winner in Economics and
subject of movie "A Beautiful Mind"
He is controversial for some of his social and political views.
The movie was about his struggle with schizophrenic delusions.
His award-winning theory had something to do vaguely with cooperative forces in the economy and not pure competition.

Answer 2

first of all what section of economics, you need to be more specific if you expect good answers. But, if it is general a couple of ideas you could use to seach and go from there might be:

.Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply.

.Talk about the determanants of aggregate demand and aggregate supply. there are 4 for demand and 3 for supply.

.Regular demand and supply and the realationship between the two.. there are 7 determinants of demand and 6 (?) pretty sure for supply

.Fiscal policy, what two things can the government manipulate to change any financial situation- they are manipulateing taxes and government spending btw.

.Differance between Classical Economics and Kanesian/Canesian (not sure how its spelled) Economics. ...its a veiw point, Classical believes in true Laize Faire, Kanes believes that the government has to have an active role in our economy/ this is what most economists today believe.

. Inflation...2 differant kinds they are Cost-Push and Demand-Pull talk about the differances and what causes both of them.

. The realtionship between GDP and Price level

Good Luck... if this is a final then you've taken the class and this stuff should be in your notes. BTW my information is all about MacroEconomics not all will apply to MicroEconomics.
