Perspectives on Economic Awareness? A Comment.

Davies, Peter

Economics, v25 pt4 n108 p172-75 Win 1989

Presents a compelling argument refuting Ian Pearce's eclectic approach to economic awareness. Focuses on three questions: (1) what is the purpose of economic awareness; (2) what does economic awareness entail for the classroom; and (3) what view of economics does the Ian Pearce's approach convey? Offers five reasons for rejecting the eclectic approach. (GG)
