Highschool Economics Resource

Economics in a box -- worth reading more about or checking out some of the resources to go with what I already have...

"Economic principles explain
• Why some societies prosper while others stay in poverty
• Why entrepreneurial businesses create jobs and produce innovative products and services
• Why so many government programs fail and government policies backfire

Much of economics flows from common sense observations and insights into everyday life. The core textbook, Common Sense Economics, is an easy to understand book that explains economic principles using everyday language and easy to understand illustrations and examples.

Economics determines much of today´s social and political landscape, and students who understand these principles will be well-positioned to play leading roles in business, government and society.
"Economics is not about things, tangible material objects; it is about men, their meaning and actions." Ludwig Von Mises"
