Economics for the citizen
posted Wednesday, June 22, 2005 :: 3:18 PM
“Last fall semester, I didn’t teach
for the first time in 37 years. No, I haven’t retired. It was my
semester-off reward for two terms as department chairman at George
Mason University. A break is well deserved after a chairmanship — a job
not unlike that of herding cats. During fall semesters, I typically
teach our first-year Ph.D. microeconomics theory course. Out of a love
for teaching, I’ve decided to not completely take off but deliver a few
lectures on basic economic principles to my readership. We’ll name the
series ‘Economics for the Citizen.’”
Lucky us, Walter Williams just completed the tenth and final essay in his Economics for the Citizen series. I have linked to the first essay, the links for essays 2 through 10 are found in the right sidebar of the first essay.
Also visit When Material Wealth is Not Enough for an interesting topic starter for discussion or research paper.
Rhetoric stage students
study economics in their second year of applied history studies. Add
these essays following Economics in One Lesson, for those following the
CCH curriculum. (We are redoing applied history at CCH; active link
coming soon!)
