Discussing Economics treats discussion - meaning formal
consideration of questions about a reading - as a new approach to
learning economics. Setting out a detailed approach modeled on the
ideas of Mortimer Adler and the Great Books Foundation, the authors
explain why instructors should organize discussion around
interpretive questions, how to plan and lead discussion, and how to
integrate it into a course. They then provide a guide to over 60
classic and contemporary readings that span much of the
undergraduate economics curriculum. For each, they provide a
synopsis, learning objectives, recommended questions, and
discussion suggestions. The authors make the case for discussion as
a productive, cost-effective pedagogy that provides students with
the opportunity to improve their economic literacy. As students
form and revise their interpretations, they use the concepts the
authors used in ways that deepen their understanding, lengthen
their retention and enable them to transfer their mastery to new
contexts. An invaluable resource for undergraduate and high school
economics instructors, this volume will also be a useful tool for
economic educators and those interested in classic economic
writings.
