Review of 'Econned' on 'GoodReads'

This book was challenging for me, but I learned a lot, especially about the theoretic foundations of modern finance in free market economics, as well as the convoluted details of derivative markets and how they led to the last financial crisis (as well as others).

I especially appreciated the authors prose and ability to illustrate complex ideas with examples. She used many words I didn't know (and not just the finance jargon).
