Honored to be able to present on Economics to the Hillsdale College K-12 Education Summer Session 1 (Upper School) last week! My talk was titled "Four Fatal Flaws in Your Approach to Teaching Economics Classically". 1. Self-interest (what about friendship, justice, sacrifice?) 2. Subjective value (what about objective Truth?) 3. Spontaneous order (what about intelligent design?) 4. Shallow critiques of Marxism (sinful nature/historical precedent is insufficient) I have taught high school Economics at classical liberal arts charter schools for a decade, and I found those four topics caused the most consistent consternation. Most of the potential division is due to economic terms being misunderstood or poorly explained, so I recommend spending extra time in these areas!

Why Children Should Learn Economics in School “This is perhaps the one area of knowledge that is most often relevant and helpful for public policy discussions. It’s also a subject on which almost everyone is more or less born with completely confused prejudices, which people tend to hold with near-total certainty. Once you learn some economics, you see through a lot of the nonsense. But hardly anyone in our society ever actually learns any economics. As a result, the vast majority of voters, including people who are otherwise well-educated, enthusiastically support policies that are demonstrably counter-productive or otherwise dumb, such as price controls and trade barriers.” By Michael Huemer Michael Strong how do you best teach economics?
