econAmerica:
Why the American Economy is Alive and Well…
And What That Means to Your Wallet
 Despite the painful shocks of sky-high energy prices, rising short-term interest rates, volatile housing markets, and global terrorism, the American economy has continued to perform well in recent years. But even as solid growth has occurred, the national media has led millions of Americans to believe that the economy is merely limping along, creating few quality jobs, and on the brink of disaster.
With econAmerica, Jeff Thredgold sets the record straight by debunking some of today's most common economic myths—many of which have been perpetuated by the media—and presents a balanced and optimistic picture of the U.S. economy and where it may be headed.
Looking back over the past as well as ahead to the coming decades, this timely guide provides both the seasoned professional and those new to this arena with an understandable view of the U.S. economy. By cutting through the media hype, econAmerica offers you a clear picture of how the American economy is really performing and what that means for the future of your finances.

On The One Hand...
The Economist's Joke Book
 On the One Hand... is a collection of jokes I have compiled over my 30+ years in the profession. Names, dates, and raw language have been changed to protect the innocent.
Also included are some of the less insightful quotes of the past few generations. While these people were not economists, they showed real potential.
As an economic futurist and professional speaker, I have found that using humor when speaking and writing makes economics more tolerable. Having some fun with the dismal science is what this book is all about. I hope you enjoy it…and pass it along to a friend.

A Parent’s Letter to My Children in School
 New illustrated edition with practical and timely advice about school, learning, and life. Thirteen years ago, we published this letter as “A Father’s Letter to My Children in School” and the response was amazing. We had dozens of requests for permission to reprint more than 150,000 copies.
Due to the strong demand for this piece, we published it first as a soft-cover book, then added illustrations in this latest edition.
The book can be personalized. The opening page says “Dear” and leaves space for the recipient’s name. The final page says "Love," and then is left blank to be signed by the giver, typically a parent or grandparent.
