Essays - Magic Money, and More
Annie used to teach this sort of fun stuff!
These particular essays were inspired by questions and comments from friends and neighbors who became curious when they (or Annie) realized they did not understand the idea of the Invisible Hand, or how their government could conjure pandemic stimulus money from "nowhere."

Money and the Pandemic
These essays address monetary policy (central banking and the Fed), fiscal policy (government budgets), fiat money (including dollars and bitcoin), and inflation (price-level changes). They present accepted teachings in economics, for the general reader, with a few thoughts on today's challenges tossed in.
