This learning kit includes videocassettes with 6 short films, a booklet for the student, and a teacher’s guide. The kit helps teach high-school students basic terms in economics such as supply and demand, competition, decision making and human resources.

ICSEP provides the kits to high school students in a very successful ongoing program serving dozens of schools, especially in outlaying areas, where specialized economic courses are hard to find.

This translation of the James Madison Institute’s book helps those who don’t understand the sources of economic prosperity to better understand what types of economic arrangements work and why some nations prosper while others stagnate or even regress.

“If you are looking for a lean and clean book on economics—a basic primer for keeping clear the main ideas—this may be the best you’ll find. It sticks to the basics, and explains them with common sense and in plain English. It will leave you wishing that everyone really did know at least these basics.”

As we head into the next millennium, it becomes increasingly clear the progress we’ve enjoyed is mainly attributable to the freedom of the marketplace. The Friedmans provide a clear defense of the marketplace. It’s an elegant, well-reasoned argument that freedom works better for everyone than do economic systems that call for sweeping government controls. Again and again, the Friedmans demonstrate that market processes not only provide more wealth, but also more security than government control. This book will put an end to the confusion about what is right for the country, economy, and most importantly, what is best for you as a free-thinking, independent individual.
