What It's Worth -
I received a copy of "What It's Worth: Strengthening the Financial Future of Families, Communities and the Nation" from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. It is an informative book that would make an excellent reference/resource for students. Many of the contributors have had years of experience in their respective fields. The book is well-written, easy to understand and well-illustrated. Discussion topics include everything from credit scores, consumer financial health, geographic mobility and residential segregation, financial coaching, the FOC process, demographic issues, etc.
My favorite sections of this book are Jason Q. Purnell's "Financial Health is Public Health", Elsie M. Meeks "The Lakota Funds Story: How Indian Country is Building Financial Capability" and Michael Sherraden and Margaret Sherraden's "Toward Productive Research Agendas in Financial Inclusion, Security, and Development". There are many other equally as informative sections; these just happen to be my personal favorites.
I also like the discussions regarding possible bipartisan solutions and factors affecting financial stability and well-being in families. The publication does an excellent job of providing supporting references for many of the conclusions drawn by many of the contributors. Not only is this book an excellent resource for students, it will give them other publications, reports, books to look at as well. This is another book I wish I had a copy of during my undergraduate studies.
Overall, it is an excellent, informative book and I appreciate the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco sending me a copy to read and review.
