Producing Ohio illustrates economics at work in some of Ohio's most successful businesses. Each video is divided into five modules so that teachers can use the entire video or just a module that illustrates a concept. Through interviews and tours, students can see economics principles in action -- in educational, agricultural, service and manufacturing settings.
