Economics: Work and Prosperity,, by Russell Kirk is an awesome economic introduction with historic background for kids aged junior high and up.
It has been a joy to read and teach to homeschooled kids this semester.

There was this guy I used to see at the dog park with a dog named “Bird”. It looked to me like a kind of coon hound, but I figured it was just some sort of bird hunting dog given the name. I later found out the dog’s name was “Burr”, because “he shot Hamilton”. To this day I wish I would have gotten the chance to shake the owner’s hand.
PS. My male dog’s name is Hayden.

How this happened is one of the most remarkable stories in human history America's unique Constitution caused the most remarkable story in human history.
It wasn’t what government did that made America great, it was what the Constitution prevented the government from doing that made the difference.
