Title: "Give and Take," Economics Achievement, and Basic Skills Development
Abstract: A program designed for junior high and senior high school students indicates that learning economic content tends to improve a student's ability in social studies skills and, indirectly, also improves language arts and quantitative skills, The message is of significance to administrators and teachers trying to justify and find time for the study of economics in the school curriculum.
