Economic Thinking Mission and Goals
Economic Thinking is a program of E Pluribus Unum Films, an educational non profit dedicated to teaching how economic freedom, property rights, and the rule of law create progress and prosperity in American and around the world.
E Pluribus Unum Films was founded in June, 2000, taking on Economic Thinking programs in 2004. Through seminars, workshops, guest talks and our website EconomicThinking.org, Economic Thinking reaches a growing number of high school, homeschool, and college students each year. In 2008 we added a full semester curriculum, Economics In A Box. In 2009 we created LibertyFlix.org to bring dramatic and documentary films on freedom to students, teachers, and families.
Economic Thinking Programs
In Your Community: Seminars, Workshops, and Guest Talks
Economic Thinking seminars, workshops, and guest talks connect high school, homeschool, and college students directly to leading scholars from well established free-market groups. We target speech and debate students because they invest large amounts of time and intellectual energy in researching public policy issues, and put their newly learned ideas to work in debate arguments and cases. Speech and debate students are "idea" leaders among their peers, and continue to influence others through college and in their professional careers. We are working with speech and debate clubs nationwide to deepen the discussion of debate policy topics.
Website: EconomicThinking.org
We have updated our logo from the one shown at the left to the one at the top of this web page. Thank you for your patience while we update our web pages!
Students, parents, and teachers are not the only ones learning, reading and downloading the latest free-market solutions to public policy issues. Everyone has access to our website EconomicThinking.org, which is filled with references and links to books, videos, and articles on the history and economics of public policy.
Film: LibertyFlix.org
In 2009 we created LibertyFlix.org to bring dramatic and documentary films on freedom to students, teachers, and families. We believe human liberty is delicate. LibertyFlix.org is a collection of films about Liberty, the most fundamental human right. Understanding how freedom has been lost, how it has been restored, and how it can be fostered, all add to the potential to keep freedom alive. Libertyflix was formed to make available to the world the work that many great and talented artists have created concerning freedom.
Films are available for purchase or streaming through Amazon.com or other distributors.
Curriculum: Economics in a Box
Economics determines today´s social and political landscape, and students who understand these principles are well-positioned to take on leadership in business, government and society. Economic Thinking´s associate Pamela Cooper developed this homeschool curriculum after searching for an affordable way to teach her own children the fundamentals of a free society. Over 200 homeschool families and cooperatives are now teaching economics from our 16-week EconomicsinaBox.org curriculum.
Economics may be the most exciting and relevant course your high school student ever takes.

"… you asked who was the most productive/most efficient in the use of donated funds for educating students in free enterprise. In my judgment, the best by far is Greg Rehmke and his think tank www.economicthinking.org. Check him out.....Definitely worth a major donation. I don't know anyone who reaches out to more high school and college students with his "Economics in a Box" and his debate courses. He's constantly on the move...
