The Book Page

In This Economy? How Money and Markets Really Work, Kyla Scanlon, c. 2024.  

Kyla was the individual who coined the word, vibecession. 

A fun book to read; experienced investors can read this book in one setting. I doubt many in my audience would find this book useful.

Target audience: the first or second year, probably the first year, college student majoring in finance, business, etc, and/or the same college student interested in starting to invest, or at least to better understand the daily equity and bond markets. 

I'm glad I bought it but I wouldn't recommend it except for college students with business or investing interests.
