The guiding force of a free enterprise system is

the sum total of the millions of individual deci-

sions all of us make as consumers, workers, and

citizens. The preservation of this kind of system

depends on the ability of individuals to make

wise economic decisions. For everyone living in

a free enterprise system, therefore, economic

understanding is an imperative need. Aware-

ness of this need is apparent in the growing

number of courses or units of instruction being

mandated by legislatures or by school boards.

These include various kinds of economic educa-

tion such as American free enterprise, con-

sumer education, personal finance, and worker

or career education. The result ill lnany cases is

that stfidents are getting bits or pieces of in-

struction from a number Of sources--a hard

way to learn, with results uncertain at best.

Business and You as a Consumer, Worker,

and Citizen, fifth edition, is tile text that puts it

all together for the student. It explains/he role

and purpose of business in our economic sys-

tem, with emphasis on what everyone should

know to function effectively as a consumer, a

worker, and a citizen in a free enterprise sys-

tem. Thus it is a text for all students, not just

those majoring in business.
