GETTYSBURG - Inspired by his students, HACC-Gettysburg professor Budd J. Hallberg has written "Return to First Principles," a book that advocates a return to the tenets that made our country great in the first place.
Concerned about the social, economic and political realities that his students face in the 21st century, Hallberg studied nearly 100 texts, journal articles and other publications before writing "Return to First Principles" to explain the history of how
America was built, how the country has drifted from the founding principles, and ways in which the nation can return to those principles.
The book is self published through AuthorHouse and was released in October.
Hallberg’s career experience includes investment banker, director of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and managing director of a Gettysburg management consulting firm. He is a member of the Chartered Financial Analyst Society of Philadelphia. He is an adjunct professor of philosophy at HACC-Gettysburg.
Hallberg has a bachelor’s degree with a concentration in liberal studies from the University of the State of New York and a master’s degree in philosophy from Goddard College.
