[Following is a volunteer review of "Restore Trust" by Werner NEFF.]
I enjoyed the book, Restore Trust by Werner Neff. This book does a good job of describing the fundamentals of finance, poverty, and its relation to the government of the United States. I give it 4 out of 4 stars.
One of the elements I enjoyed most about this book was how well it was researched except for one thing – Wickipedia was an unnecessary source; which I will expand on in a moment. The book overall was a quality piece of nonfiction literature. The main thing I disliked was less about what the author stated but that he quoted Wickipedia. It is not a trustworthy resource. I would like to have seen more from other highly reputable sources he used; such as the US Census or the economist John Meynard Keynes (cited on page 93). These are both highly credible. The author definitely could have easily found the same information for which he cited Wickipedia through other far more credible and original sources. Wickipedia is not a professional source and professionals from appropriate industries do not review new postings to verify credibility. It has information about many areas; but anyone and everyone from anyplace can add or alter information on that site. This does not mean that the information cited is not factual; just that the book would have sounded more credible if the author cited more verified resources than Wickipedia. It would have been a very easy thing to do considering the quality of his other sources.
I found no spelling errors in this book. I also appreciated the studies that were cited; the author provided much detail & background. It did appear professionally proofread.
I found this book quite thorough and I really liked how detailed the author was in expressing his perspective. He cites the US Census, well known economists & professionals such as Russ Choma and Noam Chomsky. Visual charts are included also.
I feel this book would be particularly relevant for anyone interested in the status of the US economy. However, I do not have a background in finance and I still enjoyed it; so it is understandable for those who are inexperienced with economics. Both individuals who are not religious and individuals who are will likely enjoy this book.
