Description

Holistic Financial Literacy Education provides a scholarly foundation for a holistic vision of financial literacy, as well as instructional strategies for its teaching. This text shows pre- and in-service educators why and how we can teach financial literacy to youth within the social studies curriculum. This book employs a holistic approach to demonstrate how teachers can enhance youth financial literacy by addressing the interconnected personal, communal, and societal factors that shape financial understanding. It promotes discussions of the social principles and contexts that inform financial literacy and global human well-being, as well as the social consequences for a reductionist perspective of personal finances. Its eleven chapters cover a plethora of topics from corporate ethics to psychological considerations, to social biases. Combining theory with practice, this book offers classroom strategies, lesson plans, and practical guidance for teaching financial literacy and challenging current societal norms. "Holistic Financial Literacy Education provides unique values to the field of financial literacy education, which is contributed by scholars from diverse academic fields and geographic locations. It broadens the field by making connections between financial literacy and other important topics in social science such as gender equality, misogyny, sustainability, social responsibility, ethical consumerism, and meaning of work. It enriches the literature of financial literacy by proposing innovative concepts such as emotional financial literacy, holistic financial education, holistic financial literacy, and financial citizen education. This text can be used for both undergraduate and graduate courses in multiple fields such as consumer science, personal finance, education, economics, business, marketing, finance, sociology, psychology, political science and related disciplines." -- Jing Jian Xiao, Ph.D., Professor, Consumer Finance, College of Health Sciences, University of Rhode Island, USA "This intriguing collection of essays provides the reader with an opportunity to reflect on a rich variety of holistic perspectives on money and finance. Indigenous, Marxist, feminist perspectives are combined in this book with the psychological, social, philosophical aspects of finance in its cultural contexts. Financial literacy education is the unifying theme. The committed educator will find many inspiring examples of ways to introduce younger students to money and finance not as instruments of individual material gain but as reflections of our core societal values with an emphasis on our ability to decide and shape those values through the priorities we attach to the money value of things." -- Brenda Spotton Visano, PhD, University Professor, School of Public Policy & Administration, York University, Toronto, Canada "Holistic Financial Literacy Education provides unique values to the field of financial literacy education, which is contributed by scholars from diverse academic fields and geographic locations.
