Jerry Evensky began his career with six years as a secondary social studies teacher in the Webster Groves School District, Webster Groves, Missouri. He loved teaching at that level but the exploration of ideas drew him back to graduate school. He received his Ph.D. from Syracuse University in 1984. He taught for a year as a visitor at Hamilton College and then returned to Syracuse as faculty member. He designed the program in Economics with the Concurrent Enrollment Program Syracuse University Project Advance and has served as a faculty liaison since its inception in 1988. In 1996 he was named a Meredith Professor for Teaching Excellence, the highest teaching distinction offered by Syracuse University. Professor Evensky’s research focuses on Adam Smith’s Moral Philosophy, the role of ethics in liberal society, and economics education. He has published many articles on these subjects. In 2005 his book, Adam Smith’s Moral Philosophy, was published by the Cambridge University Press. His introductory textbook, Economics: Ideas and Issues for a Sustainable World, published by Pearson Custom Publishing is in its second edition.
