Welcome to Principles of Economics. My goal is to help students learn and enjoy economic reasoning. In this page, I hope you will find helpful materials for the courses that I teach.

If you want to get a little taste of how fun economics can be, read this speech. 


For a taste of economic literarcy, visit The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy.

Two of my favorite ancient Chinese proverbs are:
1. "Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere..."
2. "Teachers open the door. You enter yourself."
