Category Description for Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?:

Not conversant enough on economic theory to explain to your children why our economy is in the state it is, when, why and how we've gone off the gold standard, and why prices keep rising? Here's a simple, entertaining and in-depth introduction to economic theory. Written as a series of letters from "Uncle" Eric to a nephew or niece, this book explains economics along with interesting historical information. It covers topics such as the origin and history of money, the history of our dollar, the economic behavior of the government, the business cycle, inflation, recession, depression, the federal debt, foreign currency, how and why the government impacts the value of money, and the wisdom and pitfalls of investing. This 7th edition also adds reference lists of Web sites and financial newsletters for additional research. Clear enough for a 5th grader to read and understand, but not oversimplified.

is this the newest (2015) edition?
A shopper on Jan 11, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I noticed the chapters were a bit different in the Economic guide for the newer version of Penny Candy and there was updated information, so I went ahead and bought the newer version of Penny Candy. That worked out best for us and it didn’t cost too much more.
Is using the Bluestocking guide with Penny Candy enough for a high school level economics course?

BEST ANSWER: No it is not. There is a series of 4 of his books that would be a high school economics class. If you go to his website, they are listed out. I believe along with Penny Candy, it's the Rome book, whatever happened to justice and liberal, conservative, confused. My son did the series and learned a lot.
