Dumke and remarks from John F. Henning and Eugene M. Micrson examine how economic illiteracy weakens democratic decision-making. The text argues that schools, universities, and adult education largely omit economics, leaving teachers untrained and textbooks missing economic content. It links poor economic understanding to inadequate choices on taxation, spending, zoning, and governance, and calls for non-ideological economic education introduced from early schooling through college to enable informed civic

University and Colleges  \n\"If a free society is to work,it requiresa nation of economically literate eitizens.But we have a nation virtually inundatedby the murky water of economic illiteracy.  \nThe quality of our economic decisions,from taxing and spending decisions at na-tional and state levels,to zoning andschool board decisions at the local levels,depends on the economic literacy of ourleadership_and our voting citizens.Aneconomically illiterate democracy neces-sarily means an inadequate quality of eco-nomic decision-making.  \nEMBARCADERO RO0M,HYATT REGENCY HOTEL  \nThe Hyatt Regency Hotel is convenientlylocated at California &Market,nearBART's Embarcadero Station.  \nJOHN F.HENNING  \nSince his appointment in 1970 as Executive Secretary-Treasurer,his primary concern is withthe rights and benefits enjoyed by all California workers.One of his priority projects has beento make major improvements in the State Workman's Compensation Program.  \nEUGENE M.HERSON,Quarterly Chairman  \nFrom Address by  \nRight now,many of our nation's insti-tutions and productive activities are un-der widespread criticism.An uninformedelectorate's response in the area of eco-nomies may well bring about unthinkingdestruction of our basic institutions.  \nEconomie illiteracy means our childrenare not being equipped to think about thehard choices immediately ahead.Theyneed economic education because eco-nomics is basically the science of choicemaking,choosing,establishing trade-offsand priorities in the face of scarcity.Eco-nomics provides a realistic approach tothe problems we

wrong?\n\nThere is an absence of economic edu-cation in our schools,our universities,andamong the public at large.  \n## Colleges'Economie Iliterates\n\nLet's look first at the schools.  \n1.Economics is simply not includedin the curriculum that is actuallytaught by most teachers.  \n2.Most teachers have no training,orat least highly inadequate,trainingin economics.  \n3.Most textbooks(e.g.,social science,history,etc.)that should contain ele-ments of economics contain no eco-nomics at all,or highly inadequateeconomies,or biased economics  \n4.The schools have virtually no keyresource people to make economiceducation happen.Here the problemis a resource gap.The key resourcepeople are professional economistsspecializing in economic education,but they are almost all located in theuniversities.  \n## What about higher education?\n\nThe great bulk of undergraduates takeno courses in economics and graduates aseconomic illiterates,despite the fact that  \nan understanding of economics could
