About this title

Synopsis

Man Vs. Markets by Paddy Hirsch of the public radio program "Marketplace" is economics explained, pure and simple. It's a book written for the layperson who wouldn't know a "bond" from an "option," and who believes that a "future" is when we'll all have flying cars. Here is an illuminating, insightful, and wonderfully witty journey of discovery through the often confusing financial markets, offering clear, relatable explanations and definitions of the system's various instruments, yet less simplistically than the popular ...for Dummies series. Man Vs. Markets is a must-read handbook for everyday investors, for serious students of finance and economics, and for anyone trying to understand the day's business and economics news.
