Free Market Rules, step by step
Here’s a preview of some of the concepts your children will learn…
Needs and Wants
They're different, and important to distinguish. How can we prioritize what is necessary vs. what isn't?
Why We Act
The choices we make show what matters to us. Each of us can work hard for the things we really want.
Trade Increases Wealth
The more people can work together and trade their things, the more prosperous our society becomes.
Scarcity and Value
When an item is hard to find or make, its value increases. Why does that matter when shopping?
What Creates Value?
Whether something has value or not is subjective—each of us have different preferences and priorities.
What's an Entrepreneur?
Our lives improve when people are free to create the goods and services that can benefit us.
