Should financial literacy teach about socio-economic inequality, of the complex causes and consequences of what it means to be poor?

Financial Literacy: Our Critique
What role does financial literacy seems to play in the provincial government economic growth plan?
How do the Junior Achievement and the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce understand financial literacy? What perspectives/understandings seem to be missing?
What view of a financial literacy person does the Ministry seem to endorse and to educate for? Why?
What curriculum orientation (i.e., product, process, and/or praxis) does this proposed curriculum seem to endorse? Why?
How does the introduction of the proposed K-12 financial literacy education becomes an instrument to reproduce a particular social order? How is that social order imagined?
