We are saddened to announce that Beth A Hoffman, the long-serving Managing Editor of "The Freeman" magazine, and key component of the Foundation for Economic Education staff, has passed away at age 58. Beth was a wonderful person, always smiling and giving her all to support free markets. She was a brilliant editor, and never failed to make one feel at home when visiting FEE in Irvington, NY.

Our sympathies go out to her family and her friends. She was a true marvel, and her smile will be remembered along with her enthusiasm for freedom. Rest in peace, Beth. We'll miss you.

Here is the link to the notice, published by FEE. Those wishing to send something in her memory, are heartily encouraged to do so.

Here is a piece written by Beth in response to a query from a ten year old child who wanted to know what inflation was.
