Ethics, Economics & Social Issues

Explore how ethical reasoning and economic thinking intersect — and how to help students navigate complex social issues using both frameworks. This session features two lessons from the Council for Economic Education’s new Ethics, Economics, and Social Issues curriculum. Using the topics “Should We Allow a Market for Transplant Organs?” and “Should I Join the Sweatshop Boycott?,” participants will examine how to guide students in evaluating challenging dilemmas through both economic and ethical lenses. The session also highlights how interdisciplinary expertise in economics and ethics enriches classroom discussion.
