Why are some people and nations more prosperous than others? This very practical study of economics explains the laws or principles of economics—and the consequences of disregarding them! What is the proper role of government in economics? This course demonstrates the link between economic freedom and political and individual freedom by encouraging free-enterprise capitalism and moral responsibility with money. As the Abeka Academy teacher explains the economic principles of production, supply and demand, competition, inflation, and saving, your high schooler, along with his video classmates, will also be learning principles that will help him make informed money-management decisions throughout his life! As he becomes acquainted with the students on the video, he will feel as though he is a part of the class. The teacher will even pause to allow “classmates watching” opportunity to participate.
