Critical Praise for PUZZLES OF FINANCE

An extraordinary combination of the elements of finance, commonsense wisdom, sparkling humor, shining clarity, and enviable originality. This is a potent blend by any standard of measurement. Longtime Kritzman watchers, however, would anticipate nothing less.
-Peter L. Bernstein, author, Against the Gods

A modest, lively, clever little book. Kritzman's puzzles range from party tidbits to the profound, and each is presented with a bit of history, a lot of insight, and just the right measure of wit. While he may not have intended it to be more than a collection of interesting conundrums, Kritzman has actually created a wonderful introduction to finance for the uninitiated with challenges for even the most sophisticated.
