Originally published in 1970, Useful Economics is a compilation of economic lessons Edward C. Harwood believed were important for readers who wish to gain an understanding of economic behavior.
According to Harwood, “an organized and comprehensive body of scientifically grounded warranted assertions or ‘knowledge’ simply does not exist as yet in the field of man’s economic behavior.”
Useful Economics focuses attention on economic behavior in a supermarket and proceeds from that beginning and is Harwood’s attempt to meet an obvious need in academia.
“My sole interest in the matter is to encourage students to get something more from their required courses in economics than a passing grade. Few college graduates whom I have questioned have felt that they obtained anything of lasting value or use to them, other than a marked distaste for economics as they learned about it. Surely, it must be possible to do far more effective teaching of those who never take anything other than elementary courses. Perhaps this small volume will stimulate other writers more competent to do more effectively the job that should be done.” ~ E. C. Harwood
Edward C. Harwood (1900-1980) was a 20th-century economist who is most known for founding the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) in 1933, which is today in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He was a major force in founding the pro-market, individualist, sound-money tradition of thought in the 20th century. Although his role is huge and his influence over several generations of economists and intellectuals is vast, it is often overlooked.
The American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, was founded in 1933 as the first independent voice for sound economics in the United States. Today it publishes ongoing research, hosts educational programs, publishes books, sponsors interns and scholars, and is home to the world-renowned Bastiat Society and the highly respected Sound Money Project. The American Institute for Economic Research is a 501c3 public charity.
