Synopsis: Bryan M. Kuderna, is a Certified Financial Planner and nationally=
recognized financial advisor, who knows first-hand that the key to wise fi= nancial decisions is a deep understanding of economics. When his clients as=
k him, "What should I do with my money?" Kuderna has found the conversation=
quickly turns from one of personal finance to a 360-degree view of economi= cs, illustrating why and how issues on the global stage and the kitchen tab=
le are directly connected.

With the publication of "What Should I Do with My Money?: Economic Insights=
to Build Wealth Amid Chaos", Kuderna explains how economies and markets ar=
e affected by the way people live, learn, love, work, play, and pray -- for=
it is these behaviors that determine how groups, corporations, and nations=
make money or lose money.

Using history, storytelling, and sage insights, Kuderna takes you on a pano= ramic tour of the nine most important domains impacting your wealth: Popula= tion (a rapidly growing and shifting balance of givers and takers); Entitle= ments (the past, present, and future of Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid,=
pensions, and stimulus programs); Education (costs and benefits of college=
and student loans); Economic Philosophy (political and monetary beliefs th=
at govern our world); Environment (the sustainability of our planet amid gl= obal warming, plastics, and finite natural resources); Tech (opportunities = and threats from the fastest-growing sector of the stock market); War (the = use of proxy wars, civil military fusion, cyber, and economic attacks); Rel= igion (how faith has steered economies from the stone age to the space age)=
; Personal Finance (a plan to attain the Three I's: Impact, Independence, a=
nd Income).

Each chapter includes special features explaining the "macro" problem and w= hat it means to your personal "micro" world -- helping you connect the dots=
of global issues to your own financial plan. Now more than ever you might = feel overwhelmed, the victim of existing economic structures, but wait and = see how there has been no better time for you to take control and build wea= lth.

Critique: In an age of governmental instability, rapid technological change=
s, global disaster disruptions in the form of wars and pandemics, criminal = manipulations of the marketplace ranging from Ponzi schemes to insider trad= ing, there is a minefield of potential problems that can and will have a de= trimental (and potentiality disastrous) impact on the fortunes and finances=
of unwary and inexperienced investors. "What Should I Do with My Money?: E= conomic Insights to Build Wealth Amid Chaos" by investment expert Bryan M. = Kuderna should be considered essential reading for anyone wanting to effect= ively and profitably create personal wealth through investment, be it in st= ocks, bonds, or entrepreneurial start-ups. Exceptionally well written, orga= nized and presented, "What Should I Do with My Money" is unreservedly recom= mended for personal, professional, community, and academic library Wealth M= anagement & Investing collections. It should be noted that "What Should I D=
o with My Money" is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $22.72=
