I met the author, Savings to the Fair.
This time, the professor at the University Ca’ Foscari di Venezia, where it makes economic research as a psychologist, he has experimented in a book addressed to all (parents, grandparents and children).
A well-written and entertaining compendium of financial education.
From the prologue of the book:
"This book shows that, according to many experts should be the preparation of the basic fundamentals. It is important to explain what is a check, a credit card, a checking account, mortgage, and other specific aspects of the interaction of a city with banks. With these tools we familiarize growing, as well as young people today learn how to work smart-phone ... ... ...
... .. Then we will try to illustrate the functioning of the human mind in relation to gains and losses.
... .. Finally, to address three specific topics: financial education of children and adolescents; the most common ways to invest the savings (case, shares and bonds); money as a sensible and senseless passion, and as a reward for our work, according to the contribution that we give to society.
Paolo Legrenzi invites us to completely overturn the common attitude that you contact an expert for financial issues, to become familiar with the economy and become the "economic literacy", able to manage the economic aspects of our daily lives.
For me it is really well done, I recommend reading.
