Real World Economics: Sets 1 - 5

Real World Economics has done what would seem to be the impossible--make the daunting intricacies and complexity of global, national, and household economics both comprehensible and engaging to middle and high school audiences. Each title offers an easily accessible, yet highly informative "diagram" of exactly how various economic phenomena, processes, mechanisms, and activities work. Narrative examinations of actual historical examples help readers draw point-by-point connections between abstract principles and real-world events. An early education in both the fundamentals and finer points of economics is absolutely necessary to encourage the development of an informed population, one that will take active control of its own future and make wise and educated decisions that will protect the long-term interests of the individual, the family, the community, the nation, and the world.
