Mike Folkerth is not your run-of-the-mill author of economics. Nor does he write in boring lecture style. Not even close. The former real estate broker, developer, private real estate fund manager, auctioneer, Alaskan bush pilot, restaurateur, U.S. Navy veteran, heavy equipment operator, taxi cab driver, fishing guide, horse packer…(I won’t go on, it’s embarrassing) writes from experience and plain common sense. He does not use borrowed text book examples provided by a PhD in economics who has remained inside a building for the majority of their adult lives due to the inability of finding gainful employment. This type of lifestyle tends to shelter one from reality. Mike’s systems of “Mikeronomics” and “Mikemathics” drastically simplify the economic and mathematic formulas commonly used by very smart, but terribly sheltered individuals.

“The Biggest Lie Ever Believed” is all about reality. If Middle America< continues to follow the path of convention, it will lead to a place that you really don’t want to go. Mike’s passion is to provide the awareness necessary for Middle America to take the fork in the road that still leads to the American Dream. Mike lives happily with his wife Cathy, in Cedaredge, Colorado.
