Description

A supplementary curriculum for high school economics courses. Topics include:
• What is Economics
• Economic Systems
• The Market System and Consumer Culture
• Products, the Environment and consumerism

This curriculum originated in the early 1990s when a group of seven economics teachers from around the San Francisco Bay Area joined with the Center for Economic Conversion to develop a curriculum that would make economics interesting and relevant to teachers and students alike. The curriculum has since been revised and updated in 1994, 1998 and 1999.
