A good understanding of free market economics may be gained by reading the articles in "Economics: A Free Market Reader" and completing the accompanying study questions and answers. "Economics: A Free Market Reader" includes a selection of articles that originally appeared in "The Freeman," a monthly study journal published by The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE). "Economics: A Free Market Reader" includes two types of study questions. Prior to each article the "What Do You Think?" questions should be answered based on the reader's current knowledge and/or opinion of the topic. These answers should be revisited after reading the article to see if the perspective/knowledge base of the student has changed. Following each article are "Thought Questions" which are designed to facilitate student-teacher discussion, and to enhance the student's understanding and appreciation of the subject matter.
"Economics: A Free Market Reader" makes a wonderful economics study book for students of all ages, and is a highly recommended supplement to "A Bluestocking Guide: Economics," which is the student study guide for Richard J. Maybury's book "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?" (both books also available through Amazon.)
