Review: A Must Buy for Financial Literacy - This book is a must read for everyone to learn financial literacy. People complain about it not being taught in schools, well here is the book to buy to learn it on your own. You won’t regret reading it.
Review: Bachelor's Degree in a Book! - As someone who majored in finance and is very passionate about it, I learned nothing from this book. However, I didn't purchase it to learn, but to educate. I love teaching others about finance, and this is the perfect display book to leave on a coffee table. The rich, bold graphics are both visually appealing and quickly digestible. When people have questions about a topic in my field, I can show them in two quick pages much of the gist of what they need to know (versus an hour of me rambling!). I was delighted to see the book didn't shy away from some of the 'meatier' topics like the Time Value of Money (via the formula for compound interest) or the Capital Asset Pricing Model (via the efficient frontier). Every course I took during my undergraduate degree was essentially summed up in every two page section. If you majored in finance, you won't learn anything here, but this book isn't for you! If you majored in anything else, pick up this book. As someone who dedicates his professional career to this subject, I assure you it is full of all the topics you'll need to know about my field. Two small areas for improvement are the Time Value of Money and the physical cover of the book. While the formula for computing the future value (FV) of a sum is given in relation to debt, I felt this didn't go deep enough on the topic. I would have enjoyed seeing this crucial topic of present and future values given its own two page vignette, showing the flip side of how compound interest can work in an investor's favor. The second area of improvement is the physical front cover of the book. The silver outline around the piggy bank and coins scratches off like it was a lottery ticket. This leaves the cover looking easily disheveled. I recommend keeping the book open to a topic you like if you are going to display it (mine is open to the start of the Personal Finance section, personally).
