A Global Economy Perspective on U.S. History.
Wentworth, Donald R.
Social Education, v58 n1 p23-26 Jan 1994
Argues that teachers often ignore the role of the world economy in U.S. history, leading students to conclude that global economic issues were not important to U.S. development. Describes an imaginary conversation between Benjamin Franklin and a social studies teacher in which Franklin discusses the significance of international trade and economics in U.S. history. (CFR)
