The recently released 2003 edition of Capstone is a set of 45 exemplary lessons for high school economics teachers and their students. Capstone contains a teacher's guide and a thought-provoking student activities book; a complete glossary of economic terms; economic reasoning applied to a wide range of problems and issues; and multiple choice and essay questions built into each lesson.
The 45 lessons cover a wide range of economic concepts including the economic way of thinking, markets, supply and demand, personal finance, macroeconomics, the role of government and the global economy to name a few.

Capstone is correlated to the National Voluntary Economics Standards and meets our state standards as well. No Free Enterprise class is complete without Capstone.
