Abstract	This book helps students make essential connections between economics and civics/government by asking the philosophical questions of government's role in the economy and the relationship between economic freedom and political freedom. The set of lessons include: (1) "How Has the Constitution Shaped the Economic System in the United States?"; (2) "Is Economic Freedom a Necessary Condition for Political Freedom?"; (3) "What are the Costs and Benefits of Voting?"; (4) "What are the Economic Functions of Government?"; (5) "How Has Federal Government Spending Changed?"; (6) "How Can Changes in the Federal Government's Budget Stabilize the Economy?"; (7) "Who Should Control the Money Supply--the U.S. Congress or the Federal Reserve?"; (8) "To What Extent Do Economic Conditions Determine the Outcome of Presidential Elections?"; (9) "How Are Economic Solutions to Pollution Different from Political Solutions?"; (10) "Why Does the Federal Government Give Money to State and Local Governments?"; (11) "What Can the Government Do About Unemployment?"; (12) "Why Isn't Income Distributed More Equally?"; (13) "Whose Interest is Being Served?"; (14) "Do Economic Forces Lead Immigrants to the United States?"; (15) "Why Would Governments Limit International Trade?"; and (16) "How Can Economic Sanctions Be Part of U.S. Foreign Policy?" Each lesson includes core concepts, objectives, materials needed, lesson description, procedure, and closure. (EH)
