This is the second course I’ve created for the Ron Paul Homeschool Curriculum. (The first was Western Civilization I, from antiquity to 1492.) This one is a half-year course, so only 90 lessons instead of the usual 180. It’ll be available in a couple weeks.
I’ve been asked if my courses will be available a la carte, apart from the Ron Paul Curriculum. Yes. By later this year I’ll have a site where all of them will be available separately, although — and this is my contractual deal with them — you get a substantial discount if you get them through the RPC.
My next courses will be Western Civilization II and American Constitutionalism (yes, we’ll discuss Spooner).
