Money. We work for it, chase it, save it, spend it, win it, and lose it. But do you know what money really is, how and why it was invented, who controls it, how it affects history and the economy, and what the future holds? This is the Story of Money. Depending on time and class interest, we will explore what money really is, early forms of currency, paper currency, the Gold Standard and fiat currency, the banking system, the Federal Reserve, inflation, and the future of money, including cryptocurrency.

No class on 2/16, President's Day.

Three hundred million people are migrating every year globally. We hear about the horrors of Gaza, Syria, and Afghanistan, but far more people are migrating from violence and starvation in various parts of Africa in wars that have been going on for years. The UN has declared that Sudan is the most serious humanitarian disaster in the world, but more people are escaping from Venezuela than any other country. Why are these events happening, what future ones can we expect, and how is it that most migration is for economic reasons? Migration into Europe and America has been reduced, but what does the future hold? This class will give you the answers to these and many other important questions.
