WINKELMAN, AZ, February 04, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Doug Cardell has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Cardell has had a distinguished career marked by a commitment to education, leadership, and public service. As a renowned expert on economics and economic policy, he shares his knowledge of economic theory. He enhances public discourse through published articles on his website, dougcardell.com, where he has written approximately 100 articles to date. His recently released book, "Why Socialism Struggles: Exposing the Economic Errors That Undermine Utopian Ideals", achieved best-seller status on Amazon the day after its release in January 2026. He is a sought-after public speaker and podcast guest, ranked in the top 10% of podcast guests. He is currently writing a sequel to Why Socialism Struggles, "Why Capitalism Struggles," which addresses common misconceptions about capitalism and highlights its often-overlooked benefits. His academic credentials include expertise spanning economics, economic policy, mathematical modeling, and system dynamics modeling. He holds advanced degrees and certificates from the University of Arizona, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Phoenix, as well as a PhD in Economic Policy from Liberty University.

Dr. Cardell served in the United States Air Force Reserve and the New Mexico National Guard, reflecting his lifelong dedication to duty and country. He served as director of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), where he oversaw programs that promoted community engagement and personal development. His leadership in this and other civic-minded organizations underscored his commitment to service and social betterment. He later entered the business world, where he ultimately became a corporate CEO. Dr. Cardell then found his calling as an educator with a longstanding dedication to nurturing young minds across multiple stages of education. He began teaching in junior high school, then in high school, and finally at the college level, where he was a professor of mathematics and computer science. Dr. Cardell always focused on teaching analytical and critical thinking skills. Throughout his career, Dr. Cardell has been recognized for his innovative contributions to education. The Sunnyside High School mathematics department, which he chaired, was cited in Bill Gates' book, The Road Ahead, as a model for mathematics instruction.

He is particularly proud to have created the IMPACTT (Integrating Multiple Perspectives Across the Curriculum for Today and Tomorrow) Program at Sunnyside High School. Over six years of involvement with IMPACTT, he witnessed remarkable outcomes. For example, when the first class graduated, its 20 students received most of the awards from a school of 600. The IMPACTT Program offered enriching experiences, including trips to England to attend the International Conference on Thinking, Phoenix a year later, so the students could be presenters at the International Conference on Thinking, and Washington, D.C., where the students received the President's Environmental Youth Award for Outstanding Achievement in Environmental Protection Services from the President of the United States.

Happily married and a proud father, Dr. Cardell is devoted to his family, which includes three children, 5 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. He enjoys music—particularly rock and roll from the 1950s through the early 1970s— and sings and plays several instruments, including guitar, bass, drums, and harmonica. He and his wife regularly write, record, and perform music.

Looking ahead, Dr. Cardell plans to circulate "Why Socialism Struggles" as widely as possible while continuing his work on "Why Capitalism Struggles." He remains equally committed to contributing his experience in teaching, mathematics, and modeling to more thought-provoking articles on economics and society published on his website, DougCardell.com.

Dr. Cardell's multifaceted career reflects a lifelong pursuit of knowledge, service to his country, guiding future generations, and impactful communication across education, civic leadership, and public discourse.
