| description | The content and point of view of high school economics textbooks likely influences what is taught in high school economics classes. Using a set of recently published high school economics textbooks, we examine the manner in which each text treats the role of government. We develop a rubric of eight criteria from Milton Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom (1962). Using these criteria, we evaluate each text on the basis of content coverage and whether a free-enterprise discussion of the topics is included. We find a considerable degree of variability in the texts' discussions of property rights and in their point of view about the role of government. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
