Are you looking for a high school economics textbook? We offer a GREAT high school economics textbook for a fraction of the cost of other economics textbooks.  High School Economics has all the information, graphs, figures, tables and data you would expect from a high quality economics textbook, but it is specifically written for high school students, by a high school economics teacher!!! 

Not only is this textbook specifically written for high school students, it covers ALL the Michigan High School Content Expectations (HSCE) for economics released in October 2007. We also have editions for other states that cover their content standards. Click the Standards link above to see where each content expectation is taught in High School Economics.

High School Economics is delivered to you in one of two methods: 1) in digital format (Word and PDF) and you can print it as is or edit it and print it as YOU WANT IT TO READ! or 2) we will print the textbook for you and ship it to you with all the digital files. One of the many great aspects of a digital textbook is that it can be updated very quickly. For example, we had the sub-prime mortgage crisis in our fall 2008 edition and have expanded coverage of the "Great Recession" throughout this fall's edition. With a free update the first year and a very low renewal license fee you can always be teaching with an up-to-date textbook for a fraction of the price of the hardcover textbooks that become history books after a year or two in the dynamic field of economics. Click on the Price button above to learn more about how economical High School Economics is. It is a great solution for schools who are struggling with cuts to their school budget, and who isn't?

We don't just sell you the textbook, we provide a complete package of materials, including: PowerPoints, study guides, worksheets, vocabulary lists, simulations, quizzes and tests specifically created by the author for each unit. This package contains EVERYTHING an economics teacher, first-year or veteran, needs to teach high school economics, and it is all tied to the state's economic standards.  We even include a comprehensive lesson plan including suggested videos and simulations for each unit.  This whole package costs about 10% of the cost of buying hardcover textbooks.

Don't just take our word for it, click on the book cover in the upper right to see sample chapters. You may also click on the Samples link above to view sample ancillary materials or contact us by clicking the email link to receive a sample textbook shipped to your school.  Be sure to check out the endorsements from high school economics teachers who are currently using the High School Economics package (Endorsements link above).
