Welcome

If imitation is the highest form of flattery, then this blog owes its existence to Greg Mankiw. This blog is primarily aimed at interacting with students in ECN 211 and ECN 212, the introductory economics classes that I teach at Mesa Community College. Other students and teachers may find it of interest as well. Its main role will be to direct students to interesting articles with the goal of enhancing their study of economics. I had previously been doing this for my students via email, but I thought that a blog would be more convenient for them, and it would allow others to access it as well.

I have found that, in directly students to Greg Mankiw's blog, a wide variety of topics have come into my classes for discussion. I have also found this site to be a must read.
