You get taught economics in high school? Consider yourself lucky to be taught anything or get to read anything interestng! All we got in my school were stupid incorrect snippits of what governments wanted us to believe in like "They printed money to help boost confidence in the markets but it didn't work" bullshit, got taught some basic history about what happened in vietnam and stuff but that's about it.

I take some honors classes that aren't offered in most schools. So I'm not really sure what the rest of the students learn at my school, but we have a pretty good class that's economics / political science / government combined.
