I recently graduated high school and I had to take a class called economics. In this class they taught the basics of compound interest, credit cards, the free market, importing /exporting, bonds and the stock market. The class even taught the basic advantages of incorporating vs. sole propietorships.
While it wasn't very indepth anyone who is driven to financial success would be sufficently prepared to purchase stock or a home.
I personally have read many books on financial success outside the classroom, however I hought the class was a good enough primer.
Did they only recently begin teaching economics or has it always been taught?
