Considering that the 'prerequisite' for school economics was bullshit and we've had whole generations growing up not knowing how the banking system works properly and how currency is actually created and circulated, the only prerequisite you really need to learn all of this is some basic maths at least for the general theory behind it.
^ I'm technically proof of this because I have no college or university level education in economics or mathematics, in fact, to my memory economics was barely taught in school beyond a couple of bits of extremely wrong articles in textbooks.
I'm kind of proof for all the people saying you need loads of background information to full understand bitcoin, as I am a highschool student who is organizing this to help out my peers. Along with that, I write articles about bitcoin and have no issue explaining it thoroughly to teachers or even classes on the spot.
An example is that last friday, my economics teacher had me stand up and give a speech to the class about bitcoin, explaining the basics of it and how it works, without any planning time. So even without previous economics I am more than capable of giving on the spot speeches over it.
