Average Rating: 
Rating:  - horrible book with poor examples
We used this book for our introductory finance class, and I hated it. Perhaps it's just the outdated edition, but I found that the excercises at the end of each chapter were awful. The book does a poor job of explaining difficult concepts. The book is also boring and drab illustrations. There has to be a better book out there. I quickly sold my edition of this book, as it is terrible.

A very comprehensive and informative book, even though the examples are for the US it can be used and applied to other countries and systems.
