For those interested in specifically examining economics,
The Mises Institute has arranged its offerings to include groupings called "
Study Resources," "

For Beginners."
The groups contain titles such as:
-

aimed at teaching the intelligent young reader...,"
-
Lessons from a Lemonade Stand, "...
the ideas of freedom can heal our world and improve our lives...,"

-

... modern civilization itself rests on the market economy...".
A capitalist economy is a market economy based on supply-and-demand, in which participants earn money by anticipating and meeting the wants and wants of others. It is very different from a socialist or communist economy, which is a government-controlled economy.
