I believe finance, economics and accounting shouldn't just be requirements for business schools; these are subjects that should be part of the MAIN curriculum starting in elementary school. Financial literacy is so important and it's just glossed over as not important in our school systems.

Then again, banks, big corporations and politicians don't like financially literate citizens. That doesn't work in any of their favour. Best business practice is to keep the general populace stupid and ignorant on those topics.
