I was looking for more of a "black and white" economics study book and activities to go along with my other class materials. This is not it...page 22 "... The government was formed to address the weaknesses of our market-directed economic system. In our market-directed system, individuals and businesses experience a high degree of choice. Humans, especially Americans, tend to be very self-centered. Consequently, many make sure they are taken care of first before helping the less fortunate. Further, there are some things that government can collectively take care of more efficiently than people or businesses can individually.""... Some people freely give time and money to help the less fortunate. But, in most cases, it is not enough to service all those in need. Thus, through government programs such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children, food stamps, social security, and disaster relief, just to name a few, the taxed income of the population is redistributed to those in need."Where to begin on the misinformation in this small section of the book?! Not worth the paper printed on. This should not be sold as an economics book.
