Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Financial Literacy
Olivia S. Mitchell · 2011
80/100
👍 Worth It
Mitchell and Lusardi assembled a first-rate team of empirical economists and the result is one of the most credible academic volumes on financial literacy and retirement security available. Formal journal review and heavy citation in subsequent NBER literature confirm its standing. Entirely inaccessible to general readers, but for researchers and policy professionals it is a serious and worthwhile resource.
