Very often, we citizens get confounded by the happenings in Stockmarkets, Foreign Exchange fluctuations, Interest rate fluctuations, Balance of payments crisis, and many such esoteric matters of hi-finance and economics which have such a deep impact on the life and times of all of us. Reading text books on Applied Economics, Finance etc will not only bore us to death, but will also add to the confusion!

Paul Erdman's books are the best way to learn all this in an entertaining manner. As a qualified economist with practical hands on knowledge of Financial and Economic matters, and his creative abilities of writing good fiction, he weaves very interesting stories which are not only thrillingly entertaining but also very educative.

Though he had written 2 books in 1973 and 74, but his 1976 book "The Crash of 79" made him a celebrity overnight. Erdman has written a number of financial thrillers,and has netted an aggregate of 152 weeks on New York Times best seller lists!
