The third Cornerstones of Freedom series has as its tagline, “Bringing history to life.” That may be pushing it, but these slim volumes do provide middle-grade readers with a solid basis for understanding the various ways in which the U.S. government functions. American Capitalism explains an economic term that young people may have heard but don’t fully understand. Beginning with the capitalism practiced by the early settlers, this goes on to look at the system’s growth, vulnerabilities, successes, and failures—overall, a well-crafted look at a signature accomplishment in American history. The series format is bright and attractive, with a very readable typeface and plenty of photos and period illustrations that are selected for variety, inclusiveness, and drama. Each book concludes with an explanation of primary and secondary sources and further defines terms used in the text. Grades 4-7. --Cooper, Ilene
