Abstract

This is a survey of material used in Elementary Economics in Philippine education, mainly those in introductory economics in college. The materials used in secondary schools are also surveyed. Some books prepared for secondary schools have had some dual used in the elementary economics course in the college level. The materials cover only those textbooks available before May 1983. In general, the textbook situation in Economics has been in an unsatisfactory state and therefore can stand immense improvement. This conclusion may be true not only in Economics but also in the other social sciences, since it seems that Economics is at least in a relatively shape insofar as textbooks are concerned. The study makes an effort to explain, in the last part, the economics of the textbook market. Suggestions are made in the concluding remarks on how to improve the supply of textbooks in general.
