Help your students to think critically about ethical issues and understand why ideas of right and wrong are vital to economic decision making.

In this collection of free online lessons, students play the roles of doctors and patients, demonstrating the motives of self-interest, duty, and character in economic transactions and learn how their bias affects their decision-making. They also consider whether their city should allow a casino to be built by considering arguments from different perspectives.
