Free Enterprise: Our Heritage, Our Wealth,
by A. Paul Ballantyne, John Brock, Dale DeBoer and Timothy Tregarthen.
These four authors, all economics professors at the University of
Colorado, Colorado Springs, have produced an excellent book (actually, a
booklet) that covers a surprisingly wide range of important economics
topics in powerful, succinct terms. This book is published by the
Colorado Council on Economic Education, which uses it to help teach K-12
teachers and students how our free-enterprise market economy operates
and how it provides a better standard of living than 'non-enterprise'
alternatives. (Full disclosure: the author of this review is a
director of the Colorado Council, and one of the book authors is
employed by J. V. Bruni and Company.) I think most economists would agree
that if more citizens read this very informative and enjoyable booklet,
there would be a greater understanding and awareness of economics in our
country. |
