What Economics Should We Teach before College, if Any?
Roberts, Helen; McCloskey, Deirdre N.
Journal of Economic Education, v43 n3 p293-299 2012
Economics can be taught much earlier than we usually imagine, as a life skill, with direct experience, from kindergarten on. An experiential, early-grades economics of budgets, buying, and giving-up-to-get may be better than the politically inspired insistence that students get an allegedly healthy dose of free-market ideology just before they are old enough to vote.
