Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Financial Literacy and Responsible Finance in the FinTech ERA
John O. S. Wilson · 2023
62/100
👍 Worth It
This Routledge-published collection brings peer-reviewed empirical research to a genuinely important intersection of FinTech and behavioral finance, and the academic credibility is real. That said, the seven-chapter structure inherited from a journal special issue can feel uneven, and the FinTech landscape moves fast enough that a 2023 publication date already carries some risk of dating. Academics and policy researchers will find it valuable; general readers will not.
