👎 Skip It
A credentialed textbook built for CFA-track finance students and professionals in the DACH region — legitimate content, solid theoretical grounding. The problem is audience: if you're not in a university finance program or sitting for professional exams, this book wasn't written for you. Thin independent reviews and a narrow geographic focus keep the score moderate.
