Abstract

The Ontario Financial Literacy Working Group is erroneous in stating that equipping “Ontario students with the knowledge and skills needed for responsible financial decision making in the twenty-first century is also to equip them for success as involved and responsible citizens” (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2010, p. 2). It is in error not because more is required for the creation of involved and responsible citizens but because consumer financial literacy education supports a subjectivity – the entrepreneurial consumer – that is unwilling to take up the citizen’s responsibility.KeywordsFinancial LiteracyCritical InquiryCritical Thinking SkillFood BankCivic ActionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
