Economic
literacy
Search: Economics
Without economic literacy there
is no possibility to understand processes of social change. Unfortunately, economic
literacy is a rare commodity in capitalist, semicapitalist and protocapitalist societies
where primary, secondary and university education is extremely poor for the majority -and
extremely good for a wealthy minority-
which, of course is
convenient for maintaining the extremely wealthy minority dominant position in society. To help
students and researchers I provide this 'rearrangement' of valuable basic
literature on economic literacy. Of course, this is just a first step. Without this first
step, though, development issues cannot be understood, and, therefore, fighting against
the barbaric social, political, cultural and economic effects of unleashed capitalist
markets will be even more difficult.
