Monday Morning Economist
I'm the author of Parks and Recreation and Economics as well as a weekly newsletter exploring current events through the lens of economics. Here I share some of my favorite books about economics and teaching, but I also include books that I use in my classes. Signup for the Monday Morning Economist on Substack.
