Description
Questions in Book 1 include discussions about wants vs. needs, using resources, what our choices show about us, value, consumption, advantage, trade and lots more. This is Book 1 of 3, and it includes 40 lessons. The 3 books do get more complicated as you learn more terms and concepts. It would make sense to do them in order. ~Sara

Category Description for Free Market Rules For Economics
Fans of the Tuttle Twins will appreciate economic lessons designed to teach children of all ages about the free market. Each book has 10 units with 4 lessons each. Completing all 3 results in 120 lessons for the year, potentially being used as a high school elective credit. Lessons include an introduction to the concept for the parents, activities for younger and older children, family discussion prompts, and optional material to dig deeper into a topic. This is how you get the grade range from kinders to high school – family discussion. Young learners can understand simple questions while older students can dig deeper into the repercussions of every scenario. Each unit takes 4 weeks to complete. Units center around a thought-provoking question: Do you really need that? What makes something useful? Why can’t you always get what you want? These are just the first 3 units. Later units discuss trade, money, demand, products, banks, monopolies, taxes, Keynesianism, etc. Final units bring you around to asking: What’s the best economic system? or How can we use economics? Each unit has consumable student pages as well as a discussion guide for parents/teachers. You can try out one unit and see if they are a good fit for your family or order all 3 in a set! This is not the sort of course that needs an answer key. See the table of contents for each book to show specific discussion topics.

Needs work, Do not recommend
The concept is good, but only 3 units in, and if using the printed copy many, of the links provided are invalid or corrupt. I would not purchase again without some major revisions done. If you purchase the digital copy you may have more luck being able to access the nonprinted content provided.
