The Economics Game -- Capitalism in the United States
The rise of capitalism in the United States occurred when immigration and increasing prosperity created seemingly endless markets for goods and services. This unit traces the history of capitalism in this country, including the creation of trusts and anti-strust acts, increased stock market speculation and the 1930s Depression, and the expansion of government involvement in economic controls. The DVD includes a printable teacher guide featuring reproducible handouts, activities, exercises, vocabulary words, and other related materials. Recommended for grades 4-10. 14 minutes.
