economics honors Academic Library

Picture
Economics is a required course for high school graduation.  In the history of the United States there has been general acceptance that the free market system of capitalism is the best of available economic systems in the world.

Today there is an assault of the validity of the above statement with few facts to support the attack.  Capitalism has brought prosperity to a growing class of families in the United States. While not perfect, the other options offer little hope comparatively.  
Students should see our statement about these courses which are not authored from a biblical worldview. Students uncomfortable with these courses should enroll in our courses from a biblical worldview ​
