Economics for Everybody Review

One of my goals over the summer was to cover a couple of subjects we normally don’t tackle during the school year, including economics. When I first pitched this idea to my children, it wasn’t met with a lot of enthusiasm. At least, not until after they viewed the first lesson of a video series on the topic by R.C. Sproul, Jr, called Economics for Everybody. Then they didn’t seem to mind at all.

Economics for Everybody

I’d originally planned on just going through this course with my three high schoolers. I expected it to be dry and boring, but figured we would slog through the material to help pad their transcripts and possibly prepare them for taking a macroeconomics CLEP test.

But the videos were way more engaging and entertaining than any of us anticipated, and an interesting thing happened as soon as we plugged in the first one: my younger children (ages 12, 10, 8, and 6) joined us for class.

Economics is for Everybody

Not only did they watch all twelve videos, but they participated in our discussions afterwards, as well, quickly and correctly answering many of the review questions given in the chapter summaries.

The title of this course is no exaggeration: Economics really is for Everybody, and R.C. Sproul, Jr. does an amazing job explaining a complex topic in terms everyone can easily understand and making the information interesting and relevant.

But you needn’t take my word for it. You can watch a short clip from Lesson 1 in the following video:

The Economics for Everybody course lays an excellent foundation for the study of economics. For students interested in delving deeper into the topic, the 250-page study guide includes a list of resources for further study.

We originally received a copy of this course free from Timberdoodle in exchange for this review, although that company has since quit selling Economics for Everbody. I have no reason why, as the course still provides a fun and easy way to tackle this topic. We plan to go through it again when my younger children (and grandchildren?) reach high school.

I’m behind again… not on reading, but on posti I’m behind again… not on reading, but on posting the books as I finish them. My second read for the year was an audiobook by Robert and Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth called You Can Trust God to Write Your Story.  I found it both enjoyable and encouraging. The authors take turns reading the book, detailing the stories of biblical, historical, and modern day believers and sharing the journey God has taken each of them through for their good and His glory.  #flandersfamilyreads #godisgoodallthetime

I may just decide to keep that one up all year and switch out the ornaments to match the seasons: hearts for Valentine’s, birds, nests, and birdhouses for spring, stats and stripes for Independence Day — you get the idea.  Anybody else have a hard time clearing out all the decorations after Christmas is done and dusted?  #ochristmastree #ochristmastree #howfaithfulareyourbranches
