SheepDog,

Any young man or young woman could benefit greatly from the wisdom of “Uncle Eric”. (Actually, any adult could learn a great deal with minimal effort.)

Here is a quote from Richard Maybury’s website:

“The Uncle Eric series of books is written by Richard Maybury for young and old alike. Mr. Maybury plays the part of an economist writing a series of letters to his niece or nephew. Using stories and examples, he gives clear, simple explanations of topics that are generally thought to be too difficult for anyone but experts. If you want to understand what others don't, read these books. Each "Uncle Eric" book is consistent with the principles of America's Founders.”

The books are paperback, modest in size, and large in content. The books are a “big picture” look at many topics that that are confusing to people or distorted by our media and public schools. I have several of the books and when my children reach an appropriate age Uncle Eric will share his insights. I highly recommend these books.

Here is a list of the titles I personally own:

Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career and Financial Security

Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?

Whatever Happened to Justice?

Are You Liberal? Conservative? Or Confused?

Ancient Rome, How It Affects You Today

The Money Mystery: The Hidden Force Affecting Your Career, Business and Investments

The Clipper Ship Strategy

Other titles available:

World War I, The Rest of the Story

WORLD WAR II, The Rest of the Story

The Thousand Year War in the Mideast
