As the debt of the U.S. government approaches $9 trillion, we must
ask ourselves what sort of economic example is being set for our
students. If this debt will be passed on to our current generation
of students, what, then, should children and teenagers know about
personal finance? How can sound financial principles and money
management be taught to these students? Extreme Economics: The Need
for Personal Finance in the School Curriculum identifies, through
current research, what children and teenagers need to know about
managing funds. It shows educators how to design instructional
activities that enable students to learn about money management in
fascinating and meaningful ways. Extreme Economics is not filled
with complicated or confusing charts, graphs, and terminology. It
is readable and immediately applicable. As education continues to
advance, the school curriculum might consist of reading, writing,
math, and economics and finance. This book is an important step to
ensuring a solid base in this emerging area.

In Money Matters for Teens, young writers discuss their financial
fears and the strategies they've learned to help them spend their
money wisely, save for the future, and pay for college. The gap
between the richest and the poorest Americans has been growing for
decades, and experts predict it will continue to widen. Young

up the ladder. Political changes could help close the gap, but in

money wisely, to manage their own income, to pay for college, and
how our larger economic system determines their financial standing.
