My first book, "Financial Unorthodoxy - Practicable Views on Money, Banking and Investing", was conceived in response to a perceived abdication of personal responsibilities in matters of private wealth management and economic thought. I hope to incite my audience to be critical of common financial wisdoms and, most importantly, think independently about their finances. To that end, I aim to provide facts and views on a variety of essential topics that every person should ponder at some point in their adult life.
I had not foreseen myself ever authoring a book, but personal circumstances afforded me the time and motivation to make it happen. Despite holding a degree in related subjects, I would consider my approach to economic writing rather unacademic. My knowledge is derived from personal experience and careful observation of that which seems to conveniently elude the trendsetters and potentates.view less
