Economic Philosophers: Adam Smith & Karl Marx, Capitalism & Communism

Thank you for taking a look at this product.

This product contains editable informational text (Word/pdf) and a high-interest PowerPoint with questions in a review assignment about the economic philosophers, Adam Smith and Karl Marx, and their economic ideas. The reading, which is a few pages with pictures and charts, describes capitalism, socialism and communism. The text also explains background information regarding Smith and Marx, and the impact their ideas had on world history. The PowerPoint has beautiful and powerful imagery and graphics to help explain these extremely important concepts.

I use this product every year in my own World History course during my Industrial Revolution Unit, which for me is Unit 5. Students often get confused about the economic systems and this product will help you clear it up for them!

This is a companion assignment for another FREE product I have, my 5.2 PowerPoint about the effects of the Industrial Revolution. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Effects-of-the-Industrial-Revolution-Powerpoint-Notes-52-1197106

The Unit 5 companion student guided notes are for FREE as well!

The economic philosophers reading can be a great standalone assignment as well. I have included a key for the 8 assignment questions.
