What does it take to be successful in business? Anthony Maybury used to think that in order to be successful in business one must know how to put complex theories into practice. He thought that success required knowledge of advanced mathematics, inventory management equations, and whiz-bang marketing techniques. But, he made some interesting discoveries.

“I don’t just half-heartedly recommend this book…I want to urge you, as strongly and sincerely as possible to read it for yourself. Only then give it to a kid you like. Karl’s book crystallizes thoughts that most people have had, but haven’t thought out fully. It washes away the foundations upon which fears and guilt are constructed over a lifetime; it replaces them with ideas you always believed in intuitively but weren’t quite sure how to defend. This book is really great for kids and adults.’ –Douglas Casey, author of Investing in Crisis
“…definitely the best book I have ever seen directed to children on the theory of how to go into business for yourself…this book is really absorbing reading” -Mary Pride, The Teaching Home
Reading level 10+, younger with discussion.

All of Richard Maybury’s Uncle Eric series of books on economics, geopolitics, justice, and history are excellent educational experiences for both children and adults. The books in Uncle Eric’s model of how the world works can be read in any order, and have been written to stand alone. However, to get the most from each one, Mr Maybury suggests the order as they are listed below, and guides have been written to help get the most out of each one.

Mr Maybury plays the part of an economist writing a series of letters to his niece or nephew. Using stories and examples, he gives interesting and clear explanations of topics generally thought to be too difficult for anyone but experts.

If you have been avoiding economics and finance because you thought you couldn’t understand them, let alone explain them to your children, then you will love these books. Recommended for age 14+, however, they could easily be adapted for age 10+ with a bit of help from a parent. Fantastic books!

A word about Bluestocking Guides: These guides are designed to enhance a student’s understanding and retention of subject matter presented in the corresponding primer. Each guide includes comprehension questions, application questions (to guide the student in applying the concepts to everyday life), and a final exam. Also, there are research and essay assignments, and thought questions to facilitate student-instructor discussion.

As Mr. Maybury states, “The more information you get, the more you need models to separate the wheat from the chaff.” We are living in the information age. We are loaded down with data more than any other time in history. We need to know how to determine what is important and what is not. What to read and what to ignore.
The question is, which models to teach. Mr. Maybury says, “The two models that I think are crucially important for everyone to learn are economics and law.”
