Synopsis

Have you been meaning to sort your finances out but kept putting it off? Perhaps you have had a bad experience with financial advice in the past? Own The World shows you why you can and should invest your own money and highlights the significant advantages you have over most finance professionals. The knowledge needed to make a huge difference to your money is not that complicated, just very poorly distributed throughout the population. You will see how successful investment can turn hundreds into millions thanks to the power of compound interest, something Einstein described as "The Eighth wonder of the world". It has never been more important to take charge of your financial affairs. Fortunately the tools available to you have never been more powerful or inexpensive. Own The World shows you where to go and what to do to make the very best of your personal finances... In the interests of full disclosure: Please be aware that this first edition of Own The World is aimed primarily at the UK market. The great majority of the message is relevant to you no matter where you live as there will be a way of implementing the book's ideas in your home country. We intend to publish future editions of the book with more specific advice for people based in the US, Canada, Australia and elsewhere. You will still be able to get a great deal from the current edition, however.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Andrew Craig graduated in Economics and International Politics in 1997. His first job took him to Washington DC where he worked for a US Congressman on Capitol Hill. Since then Andrew has spent well over a decade working in financial markets in London and latterly New York. Importantly, Andrew originally worked in an area called “pan european small and mid caps”. This simply meant that he dealt with companies from all over Europe that were less than about £2-3 billion in size. He was able to meet and travel with the top management teams of several hundred companies and was involved with the stock market flotation (IPO) of the likes of Burberry, Campari, easyJet, HMV, lastminute.com, Carluccio’s and the Carbon Trust. Working in the more volatile area of “smaller” companies meant that Andrew saw first hand just how much money the very best investors were able to make. His reaction was to read extremely widely about investment and to start investing his own money. Thanks in great part to the returns afforded by those investments he has been able to spend around five of the last fifteen years outside of conventional employment (not having to earn any money). This has given him the time to read very widely on finance, trading, economics, history and economic history. It is this, more than anything, which he feels qualifies him to bring you the information you will find in Own The World. More than his degree or over ten years of working in banking, it is the time he has had to read the very best books and other information sources about investment and economic history for the last many years that has enabled him to bring you this information… At the most basic level his view is simply: That you really owe it to yourself to learn enough about money to run your own financial affairs. The rewards of doing so are life changing as you have significant advantages over professional investors. Learning about money is nowhere near as difficult as you may previously have thought. You can learn how to do a perfectly good job with your money more quickly than it took you to learn how to drive, for example. Andrew would argue that learning about finance is a more useful life skill than driving in the long run and it is crazy that nearly everyone learns how to drive but hardly anyone learns anything about money. Real financial literacy should be taught at school. He knows that you will find the information in Own The World truly life changing...
