Abstract: Civics teaching in economics courses can be integrated with professional knowledge teaching, and the two have unity. However, there are problems in teaching practice that economics teachers emphasize teaching of professional knowledge but not teaching of thinking and politics, and economics theories are mostly foreign but not sufficiently Chinese. In order to promote the teaching of economics in colleges and universities, it is necessary to set a clear goal of teaching philosophy according to the characteristics of economics courses, to build a team of economics teachers with excellent quality, to write a set of economics teaching materials with a high level of philosophy, and to explore a philosophy teaching mode that adapts to the characteristics of college students in the new era.
