Small Group Discussion Questions

Note: These questions were prepared by the authors of Common Sense Economics. They provide classroom instructors and small group leaders with stimulating ideas that will promote discussion of the major points of the book. Under Student Resources at the Common Sense Economics companion website, students receive their own distinct set of questions. Answering these questions helps students structure their reading efforts. This prepares them for lively classroom discussions.
