Book by Heyman, David

David Heyman, a grandfather of seven, had some concerns about today's children. They didn't understand money and how much their families could spend. He wrote What Money Is and How We Spend It to help educate and give perspective to young people. David spent forty-three years practicing the medical specialty of anesthesiology in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Before that, he was a doctor in the U.S. Navy and was on the staff of a hospital in eastern Kentucky. He now lives in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, and enjoys writing realistic fiction. David Heyman relates definitions commonly used in economics, to a subject young teenagers might be familiar with-buying a family car. Grandparents, parents, and a teenaged brother and sister-three generations of McDevitts discuss the need for a new car and how it is more than a status symbol. On a visit to car dealers, they hear about interest for the first time. Returning home, they begin to study how money gets its value.
