I am a teacher at Kent Place School in Summit, NJ where I have taught AP Economics and US History for several decades. I have also written two economics books: Economics Our American Economy (Addison Wesley) and Econ 101 1/2 (Avon Books), economic history articles, and worked with the NCEE and Foundation for Teaching Economics. I have created this website for my past and current students and all who want to enjoy economics.
