January 1996

Charles Langley joined UCAN in 1996. He publishes the UCAN Watchdog, and started the UCAN Gasoline Project, the first public gasoline price tracking service in the U.S.A. He has been profiled in the San Diego Business Journal, and the San Diego Union Tribune.  Mr. Langley is the creator Gougeonomic economic theory, a new school of post neoclassical economics that asserts that in a gougeonomy, the organization that delivers the least amount of product with the worst possible service at the highest price will actually prosper.  He has also been wrongfully accused of being the Big Oil Hog - an unsavory character who represents the Oil Industry.
