Abstract

It is a major challenge to find ways to incorporate the principles of popular education into teaching economics. Students have significant experience of the economic system they live under, and some have heard of (or even studied) other models as well. The author has experimented with tapping into students' experiences and creativity in a group process to evoke alternative economic models in an attempt to undermine the assumption that modern industrial capitalism is the best system possible.
