The 21st Century Economy–A Beginner’s Guide by Randy Charles Epping
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A decent introduction to terms and concepts you’ll see regularly referred to in the financial section of today’s papers and blogs. It reviews all the major ideas, gives decent definitions, and elaborates with good examples and interesting historical anecdotes.
There are a few glaring errors, however, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. For example, the book referred to internet slander campaigns as malware.
Written at about the level of a senior in high school, this book is suitable for any reader hoping to learn and understand more about the current state of global finance.
