There is
a movement taking place within the younger generation of Americans that is
centered on the nation’s economy. The millennial generation has traditionally
been thought of as spoiled, uninspired, and privileged. In many ways, these
accusations are true, or at least were. However, in the last decade millennials
have been entering the workforce, voting, and paying taxes with significant
consequences. Millennials witnessed the economic crisis of 2008 either as
children watching their parents struggle or as young adults trying to make
their way in the world. This had significant impacts on their lives and now the
recent presidential election is guaranteed to as well. As millennials are
growing up, they are proving to be just as engaged, if not more engaged, than
the generation that came before them.
For
economist and financial expert RickKelo, understanding the complexities of the economy is something that the
millennial generation needs in order to make good decisions about the future of
the United States. Luckily, there are experts out there such as Rick Kelo who
are using their experiences and perspective to educate average individuals.
What’s more, he is doing it in a way that is accessible and meaningful to
millennials: social media.

His articles cover a broad range of topics from
as “The Simple Economics of a Bubble” and “The Economics of a Tariff”, to
“Socialism and Star Wars”. He makes stark comparisons between the state of the
United States economy and those of other nations as well. He even goes into the
history behind classic liberalism and shows how it differs immensely from
modern liberalism. In short, the millennial generation has found the answer to
their thirst for knowledge in RickKelo’s likes on StumbleUpon.com, his informative blog posts on WordPress,
and his comments on other social media outlets.
