As a lover of American History and not knowing too much about economics The Wisdom of 76 was brilliant! Skipper Young has a knack of intertwining the two subjects to make it interesting while learning the background of finance in the new world. I was taken with the way the book was written — thoughtful, practical investment wisdom that even the novice (or a young American) can appreciate. .
Mr. Young has a gift of teaching a subject that few understand and holding the attention of the reader to the last page.

ABOUT THE Author,
Skipper Young
My great uncle Johnny Gruelle created Raggedy Ann & Andy. My step-grandmother was the Queen of the Flying Trapeze in the “Greatest Show on Earth,” and I am the “
THE WIZARD OF ISM.”
During World War II, my dad captained unarmed cargo planes over the Hump between India and China and Burma. After the war, my mom was in banking and my dad was a contractor and an airline pilot. My brother still lives in the cypress home they built us in South Miami in 1949. The Coconut Grove Sailing Club was our second home. Our parents raced star boats. I grew up sailing and sun burning on Biscayne Bay.
Does earning WISDOM seem like earning a merit badge? At 14, we moved. I became an Eagle Scout with a Wall Street Journal subscription living in a small, rural farmhouse south of Macon, Georgia.
Between Macon and turning 69 more than once, I earned graduate degrees in Economics and taught Econ in Boston area colleges. I co-managed celebrity equity retirement investments in New York City and was a WPP Creative V.P. in Washington, D.C. (NASDAQ was one of my direct response clients.) In 1992, I became a 49’er. Five years later, I co-founded the cabaret restaurant–AsiaSF. My goal is to celebrate WoN4thM (March 9th, 2026) and July4thM (July 4, 2026).
I am available for talks, interviews and readings.
