The Education of the Consumer: A Study in Curriculum Material is a pioneering examination of the relationship between economic consumption and the educational curriculum. This work addresses the critical need for a school program that prepares individuals to make informed, efficient choices as consumers of goods and services. The study delves into the practicalities of daily life, analyzing the consumption patterns of food, clothing, shelter, and fuel to determine the necessary objectives for a modern education system.

By evaluating the gap between current consumption habits and established standards of living, Henry Harap provides a systematic approach to developing curriculum materials that foster economic literacy and social responsibility. The book serves as a foundational text in the field of consumer education, offering insights into how educational institutions can bridge the gap between academic learning and the practical demands of the marketplace. This work remains a significant historical resource for educators, sociologists, and curriculum planners interested in the evolution of practical life skills and economic awareness within the classroom environment.
