| Summary: | The primary purpose of this book is to point out events reported in the typical U.S. history course that can be enriched by a consideration of relevant economic topics. The book is organized chronologically by 21 topics: explorers and the early American colonies; the American Revolution; the Confederation period and the Constitutional Convention; establishing a new government; growth of the U.S. economy; the Jacksonian era; the Civil War; industrialization; protest movements; business concentration; reforms of Theodore Roosevelt; Wilson and the new freedom; World War I; the 1920's and the depression of the 1930's; the New Deal; World War II; postwar recovery and development; the rise of new nations; competing economic systems; and domestic problems today. Each topic is introduced with a brief account of the events that had important economic aspects. Discussion questions, varying in difficulty, follow the introduction. Finally, a wide range of activities is described for each topic. The book concludes with a 3-page bibliography of general works on basic economics and American economic history, economic textbooks, reference works, and books on methods of teaching economics or history.
