“Let’s All Learn How to Fish,” by Michael S. Falk (foreword by Laurence B. Siegel)
A departure from the CFA Institute Research Foundation’s traditional area of focus, this Research Monograph advocates greater self-reliance, social safety nets that act more like trampolines, and a better, more fiscally responsible society. My Foreword places the book in context and showers it with the usual praise found in forewords. Or – much better idea – read the whole book! The CFA Institute Research Foundation, March 2016.
