Exploring Economics: Curriculum Package (2016 Edition)

Grades 9 - 12, 2016 Edition

This Curriculum Package includes two hardcover books: the Exploring Economics Textbook and Making Choices.

Exploring Economics is a one-semester course that provides one half-year of credit for high school. Students learn Biblical teachings about economics from the Old and New Testaments and a history of the U.S. economy. The curriculum emphasizes the contrast between command economies and free markets. Exploring Economics helps students understand both microeconomics and macroeconomics. The course explains economic terms from supply and demand to GDP and the Consumer Price Index, giving students tools to understand what they hear in the news and to make wise economic decisions. One half-year English credit is also available through an optional literature and composition component.

The 2016 edition has been completely revised. It is not compatible with the 2009 paperback edition.

The following books complement the lessons:

• Silas Marner by George Eliot
• The Rise of Silas Lapham by William Dean Howells
• The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy by Pietra Rivoli
• Mover of Men and Mountains by R. G. LeTourneau
