About Me

I like charts.
I am not a dismal scientist.

My name is David Hendrickson. I teach international relations and American foreign policy at Colorado College.

A good number of my charts first appeared at Contrary Investor. Though oriented toward investors, CI offers a superb analysis of the real economy and its relationship to the financial system. It is an indispensable source not only for individuals but also for any good library. So subscribe, dammit.
