Mounds View Economics Challenge
The Mounds View Economics Challenge Team has been very strong for the past few years. Coach Martha Rush started entering teams into this competition in 2008 at the regional level. The teams have made it to the state competition each year and have been extremely successful. In 2011, the team won the Minnesota state competition and made it to the National Economics Challenge Competition in New York with competitors Andrew Ovshak, David Petersen, Benjamin Rush, and Conrad Zbikowski. The team placed 2nd in the nation at the National Econ Challenge to Phillips Academy. Also in 2011, David Petersen was named the Minnesota Economics Student of the Year by the Minnesota Council on Economic Education. In 2012, the Mounds View team of Connor Duffy, Nicholas Helgeson, Benjamin Rush, and Maximillian Wang once again won the state competition, but barely missed out on the National Competition after finishing 5th in the national semifinal round. Additionally, Connor Duffy was named the 2012 Minnesota Economics Student of the Year.

Famous quotes containing the words view, economics and/or challenge:
“But let the past as nothing be. For the future my view is that the fight must go on.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
