"Modern Secondary Economics Textbooks and Ideological Bias."

Romanish, Bruce A.

Theory and Research in Social Education, v11 n1 p1-24 Spr 1983

An analysis of the way 10 high school economics textbooks treat the topics of other economic systems, labor, role of government, and environment showed that the texts present free enterprise principles to the exclusion of other ideas. Topics which, if included, would provide a more balanced overall treatment are discussed. (RM)
