Economics and Nature of Government Course for High School Students

"Your books (the Uncle Eric books) are among the few I recommend for every high-schooler as 'must reads' before graduation."
--Mary Pride, Publisher of Practical Homeschooling

The Economics Course included in this package provides an excellent introduction to economics for high school students.

America's Founders were most concerned with establishing a government that ensured the greatest economic prosperity and the greatest liberty for individuals. The structure of government that they created was designed to curb the ever-encroaching nature and growth of government, which the Founders believed was the basic nature of all governments. Most civics/government books do an adequate job of explaining the structure of America's government. However, what is often lacking is the "nature" of government - which was of major concern to America's Founders. The books included in this package provide the side of the story (the nature of government) that is most often missing from government/civics textbooks. These books have been used by students ages 12 and up, but are best suited for most students ages 14 and up.
