U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT--June 14, 1999 The above article refers to a study conducted by Louis Harris & Associates on behalf of the National Council on Economic Education. The survey is based on interviews with a national cross-section of 1,010 adults aged 18 and over and a representative sample of 1,085 high school students. The results of the survey are shocking. On average, adults got a grade of 57 percent for their knowledge of basic economics compared to an average score of only 48 percent for high school students. Only 54 percent of adults and 23 percent of high school students knew that if the government spends more than it collects there is a budget deficit! The American public must become better informed about economic issues. Good economics and good politics are often in direct conflict, and when politicians have to choose between the two, they almost always choose good politics. This book makes basic economics accessibe to everyone. It is written in simple language with the use of concrete examples that relate economics to ordinary daily life. Welcome to the world of economic literacy!
