The Free Enterprise Book: Teacher's Manual

by Jerry Dean Epps, Mark a Hicks (Illustrator)

Overview

Freedom and democracy are important, but they will not survive long if they are not supported by a robust economy to which all players have equal access. For the most part, in a free market system, merit, wits and hard work will be rewarded; and when they are rewarded, the entire society benefits. This author strongly believes that democracy and robust economy go hand in hand and that free enterprise is the best way of achieving that robust economy!

Welcome. I hope you enjoy working with this material. Format of The Free Enterprise Book is as follows:

1. A free enterprise principle appearing in bold type
2. An illustration
3. A blank space large enough that the principle can be written again in a local language other than English
4. A discussion paragraph(s) of a principle of free enterprise
5. A portion of the story that relates to that democracy principle
6. Experiential activities to help the children understand/remember the democracy principle being taught in that chapter

I have chosen to break free enterprise into 15 key principles. The number is arbitrary. These 15 principles make sense, although another author may have chosen to represent free enterprise as being comprised of 20 principles, or 14, etc.
