Fairness, tolerance, morality and justice are part of economic theory and part of a child's natural awareness. Issues like sharing toys, forest conservation, taxes and national debt can all be discussed with children in terms that the great economist Adam Smith would approve of. Is an allowance an entitlement? What's fair? Here's another approach to teaching your children and learning from them. If you like a logical approach that avoids or dampens emotional issues, you'll probably like this book too.
