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. The author loves teaching this book because it is a life-changing course that students come back and thank her for years later.\u003cbr\u003eWritten 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. Students do an apartment project where they find, furnish, and budget for an apartment.\u003cbr\u003eHands-on, fun activities include cartooning, playing stock market game, drafting a personal mission statement, practicing interviewing, creating logos, making a business plan, and running your own business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou will need to purchase or borrow the following books: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWealth of the Nations by Adam Smith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing Your Money Wisely: Biblical Principles under Scrutiny by Larry Burkett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEconomics in One Lesson by Harry Hazlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunist Manifesto by Karl Marx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBusiness by the Book by Larry Burkett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhatever Happened to Penny Candy by Richard Maybury (an Uncle Eric Book)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Money Mystery by Richard Maybury (an Uncle Eric Book)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncle Eric Talks about Personal, Career, \u0026amp; Financial Security by Richard Maybury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Clipper Ship Strategy by Richard Maybury (an Uncle Eric Book)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoney Matters for Teens Workbook by Larry Burkett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Myth of the Robber Barons by Forest MacDonald\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsumer Mathematics I Lifepac 8: Business Services by Alpha Omega Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDVD: \"The Ultimate Gift\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eStudents Will...\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrite Book Reviews \u0026amp; Essays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBudget\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake a Detailed Plan to Move Out into Your Own Apartment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate Slogans \u0026amp; Logos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake Career Assessment Tests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvestigate Careers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive an Economic Speech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate Logo \u0026amp; Mission Statement for Own Business\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake a Business Plan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart Your Own Business\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeredith Curtis, pastor's wife and homeschooling mom of five amazing children, has been married to her college sweetheart for 30 years.
