Unless we direct technology, technology will increasingly direct us, with mass un(der)employment and a possible atrophying of the human soul (i.e. human thinking, feeling and will) as likely consequences. The root of such problems is a failure to understand capital fully, itself a consequence of a failure to understand fully the human condition. The solution is to complete today’s incomplete theory of capital so that capital can take on its true role as the enabler of human capacities.

This chapter is about how to teach teachers to teach finance. It considers whether the teaching of financial literacy can emulate the pedagogical approach of Luca Pacioli, the 'father' of double entry bookkeeping. The first section is introductory, characterizing financial literacy and identifying key heuristic considerations. The second section (Parts 2 and 3)-a proposed curriculum-is in effect a two-part model (content and transmission). The third section suggests multiple case studies as a framework for evaluating pilot cases of its novel approach.
