Let's Learn Economics with Living Books!

Is it time for that dreaded required high school course on Economics?

Don't panic! This just might be one of the best classes you experience in high school. Economics is not as hard as you might think, especially if you are learning it in an interesting and practical way. I love teaching this book because it is a life-changing course that students come back and thank me for years later.

Written from a Christian, Free-Market perspective, this course covers the basics of economics, managing personal finances, and starting your own business. Students learn about economics by reading living books like Wealth of the Nations, and Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? 

Students learn to manage personal, household, and business finances, as well as how to buy a car, be a wise consumer, choose a career, and plan for college. These teens do an apartment project where they find, furnish, and budget for an apartment. There are many hands-on, fun activities including cartooning, creating logos, and making a business plan. You will also create a personal mission statement, practice interviewing and run your own business. Students will learn about the stock market by playing the stock market game.
​
Students will write book reviews and essays, budget, make a detailed plan to move out into their own aparment, create slogans & logos, take career assessment tests, investigate careers, give a speech on economics, create a logo & mission statement, make a business plan, and start their own business.

​Answer Key Available here.
