Query re: Econ Ed in Public Schools

[Finmktctr@xxxxxxx]

In planning an upcoming project, the Financial Markets Center is trying to
identify organizations, individual researchers or publications that have
taken a critical look at: a) (overall) efforts by corporations, foundations,
ideological interest groups and traditional econ ed organizations to promote
free-market-oriented approaches to economic education in public schools; or
b) (specifically) the national content standards developed by AEA's Committee
on Economic Education, National Council on Economic Education, Foundation for
Teaching Economics and other groups.

We're familiar with the good work done by Rethinking Schools and Teaching for
Change and are in contact with those groups as well as with teacher unions.

Since this narrow query may be of little interest to most list members,
PLEASE REPLY OFF LIST to tom@xxxxxxxxxxxx if you know of cites or contacts we
should look into.  Much obliged.
