I think several books in this country ought to be taught in high school, including "Anthem" by Ayn Rand, "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau, "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, and The Constitution and the history of its amendments in its entirety, among other titles. And perhaps offer a course in comparative civics, noting differences between this country's system of government (as it should be, not how it is) and others...paying special attention to how services are paid for and what services are offered. Courses in both micro and macroeconomics should be offered, discussing the benefits and pitfalls of a fiat currency and central banking versus a currency backed by tangible goods and de-regulated banking. For starters.
