The Powell Center for Economic Literacy publishes Econ-Exchange semi-annually. This free publication includes economic lesson plans for elementary, middle and high school teachers. Articles, lesson plans and handouts within Econ-Exchange may be copied or reprinted without charge for educational use only. You're welcome to read Econ-Exchange online, or add your email address to our virtual mailing list. Past issues of Econ-Exchange are also available by clicking here. We no longer send hard copies of back issues to interested parties.
If you would like multiple copies of an issue, feel free to download from the index and you have our permission to make as many copies as you would like.
