“Economics 101: The Principles of Free Market Economics”

This is a free, ten-week, not-for-credit online course offered by Hillsdale College. With introductory and concluding lectures by Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn, the eight lectures at its core–by Gary Wolfram, the William E. Simon Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Hillsdale College–will focus on the foundational principles of the free market. Topics will include the relationship of supply and demand, the “information problem” behind the failure of central planning, the rise of macroeconomics under the influence of John Maynard Keynes, and the 2008 financial crisis.

Lectures will be released weekly and archived to view on-demand, and the lecturers will participate in weekly Q&A sessions on the lecture topics. Registered participants will also have access to readings and quizzes, a study guide, and discussion boards

Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day

Today, over 905,000 Bergen County Residents will be among the 300 million Americans that will enjoy Independence Day.

For most it is a welcomed and deserved day off spent relaxing with good friends and family.

It is important that we all recognize that the Fourth is so much more than barbeques and fireworks; it is about remembering all the sacrifices made in the 237 year history of these United States. The independence that we all enjoy is a privilege afforded to us by the brave men and women who have fought and continue to defend our great nation against tyranny.

Two weeks ago, I was honored to present over 20 Bergen County Military Service Medals at a very moving ceremony held at Hillsdale’s Post #162 American Legion.

I leave you with this stirring photo compilation from the event:  Bergen County Military Service Medal Ceremony in Hillsdale. It is truly fitting on this day and every day ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSVs7Qgg1w0&feature=youtu.be )

I wish you a safe and memorable Independence Day.

Happy Birthday to the United States of America!
