Download Squandering Aimlessly: My Adventures in the American Marketplace AudioBook Free
What would you do if you received an abrupt financial windfall? David Brancaccio, whose ability to clarify economic matters has made public radio's Marketplace popular, set out to discover where, why, and exactly how people are spending their riches -- be it proceeds from commodity, profits from the sale of a residence, or an unexpected inheritance or bonus. His journey takes readers from Minnesota's Mall of America to the financial caverns of Wall Street, to a college or university set among the list of oil wells of West Texas. He gathers wisdom on money and its uses from California entrepreneurs, a drifter in the desert, a U.S. treasury secretary, and many more from all walks of life. The effect reaches once a delightful adventure and an eye-opening report on America's attitudes about spending, saving, and investing.
