How Markets Work: High-School Seminar in Auburn (Sponsored by Jeremy Davis)
June 10, 2011Auburn, Alabama
"The Mises Institute educates young students through our website and publications. Here is a half-day seminar just for high-school students...
There is no charge at all for this event for high-school students and their chaperones/teachers. It does provide an excellent introduction to the whole field of economics and why it matters to understand history and society and the ups and downs of civilization itself. Without economic understanding, we are left without a critical tool for understanding vast amounts of the social sciences.
The high-school years are the perfect time to begin to introduce economic logic as a discipline. But too often, economics is presented as if it has nothing to do with real life. In fact, it is important to every area of life, as this seminar will show.
Come join us to discover the theory and application of such critical concepts in economics as exchange, opportunity cost, the division of labor, entrepreneurship, and inflation.
Sessions take place in Condon Lecture Hall of the Mises Institute, 518 West Magnolia Avenue, Auburn, Alabama. Go here for driving directions."
