Fundamental Economic Concepts--Another Perspective: A Comment.

Saunders, Phillip

Journal of Economic Education, v18 n2 p127-33 Spr 1987

This article offers another critique of Robert Heilbroner's (see SO516704) proposal for change in the teaching of economics. Among the criticisms rendered is the point that Heilbroner's statistical, ideological, and historical perspective would not be intellectually feasible for the vast majority of students in elementary and secondary schools.
