Apologia Exploring Creation with Botany

This one-semester high school elective will help students to understand the economic terms and issues that have an impact on the United States and US citizens. Emphasizing faith in God and trusting His Word, students will survey Biblical teachings on money and finance, read an overview of the economic history of the United States, discuss economic issues confronting us today, and look at national and world economies on a personal level. Exploring Economics reasserts the importance of the free market system, providing a clear explanation of terms and concepts.

Students will read 75 lessons, as well as a collection of essays in the included reader The Stewardship of God’s Riches. Most lessons feature a reading assignment, a writing assignment or an Econ Lab, which allows the student to get a practical perspective on the material being studied.
