Financial-markets

Financial Markets, Money, And The Real World by Paul Davidson (Editor of the "Journal of Post Keynesian Economics" and Professor Emeritus, University of Tennessee, Knoxville) is an informed and informative study of why the 1990s experienced a series of financial crises with terrible repercussions that reverberated throughout the global market. Focusing on the central role that domestic and international financial markets play in affecting the economic growth rate, and offering prescriptions to improve worldwide economic viability in the 21st century, Financial Markets, Money, And The Real World is a highly practical, forward thinking, and strongly recommended reading for students of Economics in general, and the interactive, interdependent global financial markets in particular.

clearly written by a pair of highly intelligent intellectuals. it is a pity they cannot comunicate.

The authors not only demonstrate their understanding of financial markets by way of the breadth and precision of the topics discussed, but they also present the material in a way that is understandable to even those uninitiated in finance. If you are looking to learn the basic concepts underlying the various markets (equity, bond, mortgage, etc.), and you are interested by the wide range of pricing tools available today, this book is up your alley.

This is one the best introductory textbooks on the subject of financial markets and institutions. It is comprehensive and full of examples and exercises. The authors do an excellent job of presenting complex concepts in a relatively simple and straightforward style. Highly recommended.
