Books in Understanding economics series

The Economy can be an intimidating subject for some readers. They might feel that it's too complicated to understand, or that it's just for adults. This illuminating volume explains facets of the economy and how they are measured in plain language. It offers age-appropriate, real-life illustrations of the concepts to help middle-school readers relate on a personal level. Historical and current examples are cited throughout the text, which support curricular standards outlined in the C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards.

At the crux of the complex study of economics lies an entity that all students are readily familiar with; money.

Interesting supplemental material found in sidebars and a glossary chock-full of key terms round out student learning. Coverage complements the social studies curriculum dealing with national and global economics.
