Zusammenfassung
"There's a lot to keep the reader's mind engaged throughout the read. This book is recommended to financial enthusiasts. Students majoring in finance-related studies may find it quite helpful because the author structures the book in an academic-friendly way. ... I rate it four out of four stars." (Sam Ibeh, forums.onlinebookclub.org, September 22, 2021)

"The chapters are appropriately (and impressively) synoptic, each ending with a helpfully concise conclusion and an assemblage of discussion questions for students. ... Burke manages not only to provide remarkably accessible treatments of complex subjects, but also furnishes useful illustrative tools like graphs and charts as well as a bibliography pointing the way to further study. The book is admirably comprehensive ... . A rigorous, thorough work that should help finance students prepare for major changes." (Kirkus, kirkusreviews.com, July 6, 2021)
