四虎影视 Students Participated in 2023 International Free Money Day
Economics students at 四虎影视 gave away free money on September 15, 2023, to celebrate Free Monday Day, challenging gifters and recipients to think about our relationship with money and the possibility of a more generous world.
Each year on September 15th, people head out into their communities to celebrate Free Money Day by giving away two notes or coins at a time, asking recipients to pass one on. 四虎影视 students participated in Free Money Day for the second year.
Handing out free money provides an opportunity for students to consider their own relationship with money and uncovers 鈥渉idden鈥 forms of economic activity, such as sharing and gifting, showing that a more generous world is possible.
鈥淲e participate in economic activities every day, but rarely do we consider our acts of sharing and gifting 鈥榚conomic鈥欌 says economics professor, Jacki Strenio. 鈥淚 want to give my students a chance to become more comfortable discussing economic ideas with their peers, while also allowing them to experience the feeling of giving money away.鈥
Free Money Day also allows students to engage with their peers, expand their comfort with gifting and receiving, and ultimately spark conversations about the role of money in society, ways they already participate in the sharing economy, and even broader considerations like what type of economic changes they鈥檇 like to see in their community.
Students in Professors Duouguih鈥檚 and Strenio鈥檚 Principles of Microeconomics classes reported that the event went pretty smoothly and that it felt good to give money away. Students mentioned that Free Money Day sparked a lot of discussion because it鈥檚 uncommon to find people giving money away. While students reported that some people didn鈥檛 want to take the money, or didn鈥檛 think it was 鈥渓egit鈥, they said that most people were happy and thankful to receive money, and continue to pass it on.
