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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you know of cites or contacts we should look into. Much obliged.
