SusanAR Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I plan to read Economics in One Lesson, but I certainly need to add more. He asked not to use ABeka or BJU. Any suggestions/ What did you require in the reading/class? susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

home2333 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hi Susan, My son took the AP Macroeconomics class through PA Homeschoolers. The bulk of the course was based on the Teaching Company lectures by Timothy Taylor and the textbook, Principles of Economics by Ruffin/Gregory. I would add some books by Austrian economists. You can find a great reading list on www.mises.org. In fact, you could design an entire class around that website. Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orthodox6 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 May I suggest a supplementary book? Whatever else you use for core materials, do have your student(s) read The Worldly Philosophers, by Robert L. Heilbroner. If you are not familiar with this book, here is a "wiki" article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Worldly_Philosophers We were assigned this book as part of my high school economics class. I was entranced by this book and how it demonstrated economic theories placed into real world contexts. I credit the book with creating the interest which eventually became a college major in the history of science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
