Summary
Each chapter includes learning objectives and requirements, and the explanations appropriately incorporate "Further Reading," "Related Cases," "Related Reflections," "Chapter Summary," and "Key Concepts of This Chapter" to develop students' analytical and problem-solving abilities. This book can be used as a textbook for economics and management majors in regular higher education, and can also serve as a reference for relevant professionals.
Editor's review
The book adopts a modular design, with each chapter setting clear learning objectives, key terms, and discussion questions, making it particularly suitable for teaching. In terms of content organization, the author skillfully integrates core contemporary financial issues such as risk management and financial regulation into the explanation of basic theories, so that readers can not only grasp the fundamental principles of finance but also understand how these principles are applied and challenged in complex reality.
Compared with similar textbooks, another highlight of this book is the considerable space it gives to frontier areas such as fintech and green finance, reflecting the textbook's contemporary relevance. As a scholar long engaged in front-line finance teaching and research, the author Duan Junshan maintains academic rigor while making the content accessible. Explanations of many financial phenomena, such as interest rate determination, exchange rate movements, and the transmission of financial crises, are supported by vivid real-world analogies that lower the threshold of understanding.
Overall, this is a high-quality introductory textbook with a clear structure, solid content, and a focus on application. It not only meets the systematic learning needs of students majoring in finance and economics at universities, but also provides an efficient learning path for professionals and enthusiasts who wish to systematically build a map of financial knowledge and understand the logic of China's financial operations.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- First- or second-year undergraduate students majoring in finance, economics, and related fields at higher education institutions, for use as a core textbook.
- Newcomers to finance-related industries such as banking, securities, and insurance who wish to systematically strengthen their foundation in financial theory.
- Self-learners or cross-disciplinary learners with a strong interest in finance who wish to build a systematic and formal knowledge system.
- Readers such as corporate managers and entrepreneurs who need to understand the relationship between the macroeconomic financial environment and corporate financial decision-making.
Not a good fit for
- Master's or doctoral students seeking in-depth mathematical finance models or advanced corporate finance theory, as the content of this book is at the introductory and intermediate level.
- Readers who only wish to learn fragmented personal investment tips or short-term stock market trading methods, as this book focuses on systematic theory rather than specific operational guidance.
Reading tips
- It is recommended to read in the order of the textbook's organization; the first six chapters on money, credit, interest rates, and financial institutions form the foundation for understanding the subsequent financial markets and instruments.
- When reading each chapter, first review the "Learning Objectives" at the beginning and read with questions in mind; after completing the chapter, review through the "Chapter Summary" and try to complete the discussion questions independently.
- For the Chinese financial market cases and data cited in the book, compare and extend your thinking with the latest financial news at the time of reading, so as to understand the application of theory dynamically.
