William E. Simon, Former U.S. Treasury Secretary

Michael A. Walker, Executive Director, The Fraser Institute, British Columbia, Canada

"Probably the best short course in economics around and is more valuable than a college text that's ten times its length. Buy a dozen and give them to friends. This is a great book!"
Douglas Casey, Author, Crisis Investing and Strategic Investing

"Maybury's forte is explaining economics in an interesting, logical and easy-to-understand manner -- no small achievement in economics pedagogy. Equally important, the economics in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PENNY CANDY? makes such good sense. When government's economic policies make us say 'uncle' let's hope it's 'Uncle Eric', Maybury's letter writer and alter ego."
John G. Murphy, Ph.D., President of the National Schools Committee for Economic Education, Inc.

"There is something revolutionary about the clarity of Mr. Maybury's explanations -- his insight into Germany's prosperity and the method by which it was consciously achieved has the most profound implications for our own economic policy, which is also a deliberate construct. Hurray for PENNY CANDY! A brilliant book."
John Taylor Gatto, , author, Dumbing Us Down, New York State Teacher of the Year

"The quality of the writing and information presented is exceptional."
Educational Oasis (Good Apple)

"An excellent introduction to economics for teens and adults that will change the way you read the paper (both the newspaper and the fine print on your dollar bills). Highly recommended."
Mary Pride, Big Book of Home Learning

"Superb introduction...This valuable little book weaves economics, history, current events, social studies, government, math and a little science into a delightfully revealing look at the foundations and workings of our monetary system. For people of any age who think economics and the business of money is beyond them and best left to the 'experts'."
