Jeffrey Cooley Jr. Funny Business

Annotation

Funny Business: The Simple Truth About Money is an extraordinary educational read for children. This book manages to effectively simplify some of the technical concepts of business and finance that affect each of us within our day to day interactions. The author thinks it important to give our children of today a resource that they can use for pre-exposure to fundamental financial concepts. It is important to note that throughout the last 6 years of economic adversity and financial crises people have opted to speak out about the elephant in the room that was once commonly ignored during more favorable economic times. Ladies and gentlemen, that elephant in the room is financial literacy. Today people are questioning; business, credit, economics, investment, and cost inflation. Well this book provides a proactive approach to financial education by simplifying these concepts for our children so that they don't seem so unfamiliar when they become adults. If we've ever considered the future of our children important, then we have to come to terms with the fact that literacy is not limited to appropriate sentence structure or the mastery of a particular language. Literacy also involves business, economics, and finance. This book is a great resource for children ages 7 and up, but even adults may think these concepts to be important in an open market economy. Instilling financial education requires that someone take the time to explain, and this book's author does just that within 6 chapters of explanations and examples that are designed to encourage practical application. Why wait
