EDUCATION ~ A MonoMad Post

My grandkids are homeschooled. Recently we discovered a great series of books called The Tuttle Twins. As the books authors describe them:

"How do you describe economics to a 7-year-old? Should your preteen care about the government? Are your kids learning about the free market in class?

For too long, parents have been at the mercy of professional curriculum developers to instruct their children. History is watered down, key principles omitted altogether, and time and attention given to things of lesser importance. Freedom-loving parents have long been left alone to shoulder the burden of educating their children and passing down a love of liberty.

While there are many books to teach these ideas to adults, there has been a profound void in the children’s literature market. The Tuttle Twins series close the gap, helping parents convey the principles of freedom to their kids in a fun way.

Each book in this series focuses on a different aspect of the principles of a free society: free markets, competition, individual rights, the non-aggression principle, personal responsibility, protectionism, and a variety of other issues—all boiled down to core concepts that children ages 5-10 can easily grasp."

The book series includes kid-friendly lessons drawn from Frederic Bastiat's The Law, I, Pencil by Leonard Read, The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, The Creature from Jekyll Island, by G. Edward Griffin, and others.

If you are concerned about the principles your kids are learning in school and want to expose them to libertarian, free-market, voluntaryist concepts, you should check out these books!
