Abstract
The discourse of economic literacy has influenced high school economics instruction for decades. Using Foucauldian genealogy, this study examined the events and circumstances which allowed that discourse to emerge. By mapping the relationships in the discourse through the economic literacy, it is possible to examine the mechanisms and rules which support the continued circulation of the discourse. In turn, the examination of those relationships, the mechanisms and rules supporting the circulation of the discourse, and those who are authorized to speak in the discourse can open possibilities for future research and points of resistance.
