If you learn wrong or untrue history your understanding of and expectations for human behavior will be incorrect which will certainly cause economic issues.

Also, much of typical school history most people learn is incredibly shallow and the waste majority of people barley remember anything. Research show this pretty clearly. So teaching something wrong, is not gone matter much.
