Welcome to my Economics Blog!

Welcome Students and Readers!

I have created this blog in order to provide other media to my students, as well as serve the colleges where I am a Professor.  If you navigate the blog, you will notice that in the sidebar, there are links to recent news of an economic nature, whether global, national, market, firm or consumer related.  Those links change on an ongoing basis, so check back often to find new articles.  There are also the most recent tweets from my ProfHankLewis Twitter account, which is used to post quick reminders and announcements for my current students.

The main articles in the blog will have relevance to current events in Macro- and Micro-economics, as well as my take on different news articles, television shows and current events of an economic nature.  All opinions stated in this blog are my own and do not represent the opinions of Lone Star College, Houston Community College, The University of Phoenix, my students, family or friends.

Thoughtful input or rebuttal is appreciated via comments on each article.  However those comments must be relevant to the subject of the article.  Flames and spam will be deleted.

Last but not least, anytime there are certain vocabulary words that are relevant to business and economics, I am placing them in bold italic in the articles so they can be identified by the student as such.  The reader can look those words up in an online dictionary, textbook or business guide themselves.

Thanks and I wish you all Success in your endeavours!
