The Most Important Lessons in Economics and Finance: A Comprehensive Collection of Time-Tested Principles of Wealth Management by Anthony M. Criniti IV
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Best for beginners, although some information would be good for midlevel’s to review, this book gives you the reader all the lessons that are the most important in economics and finance (As the title implies). Distilled into manageable bouts of information, the author relies upon his extensive background and expertise to write this informative book. Giving basic description of common and uncommon terms, the principles of various wealth management, as well as historical and more modern takes on finance and economics.
While there was a dearth of information in the book, I found it to be a bit dry and old fashioned. There were no true modern financial pioneers looked at, rather, the lessons were all centered around the highlights of Capitalism and not much else. I also would have liked to see more influential women in economics quoted, such as Anna Schwartz or even Carmen Reinhart. This book was certainly not the greatest, however, it was not the worst financial book I’ve read either.
