Adventures in the Alaska Economy

Adventures in the Alaska Economy is a helpful, visual guide of economics.  Laid out in a comic book style, this publication was developed to increase students' understanding of basic economic concepts and of the historical development of Alaska's economy.  This is historical fiction.  Major events such as the Klondike gold rush and the rise and fall of the Bering sea whaling fishery occurred as described.  This was a collaboration between Dr. Jackstadt and Dr. Huskey.
