Dear John,

A new book about the economics department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) spotlights the school’s history and impact on the study of economics.

By focusing on the role of institutions, particularly property rights, regulation, the legal system and social norms — and how they guide and influence the economy — the UCLA School distinguished itself from most other economics programs.

You can download the complete book – for free! – and view several short videos summarizing key points of individual chapters at www.EssentialUCLAeconomics.org.

Stay safe,

Niels Veldhuis
President
