Literature on the world of finance can sometimes read like a chapter in a quantum physics book would to a first grader. The vast amount of numbers and terms that are associated with finance and investing can leave one very overwhelmed. Author Jack Katz, on the other hand, in his new book, "Capitalist Dogs," takes a slightly different approach to helping those interested in the topic grasp a better understanding about the underlying intricacies and concepts involved. Written in the style of a fable told to children, the content of "Capitalist Dogs" deals with a very complicated topic and makes it an understandable and fun adventure. With factual information presented in a fable format, the story focuses on a dream had by avery new business owner by the name of Mr. Bob Catz. Mr. Catz has recently opened a business, but is somewhat untrained to the rigorous under-sidings that go along with owning your own business. One night he has an amazing dream that takes him to a land of finance and investing. Lead on a very educational tour by a dog named Sir Real (of the Wealth Corgis breed, of course), who also happens to be a securities broker, Bob Catz comes to realize how much he did not know and how much he has to learn about his new business and the business world around him. On his tour Bob Catz meets many different animal characters, all of whom are bursting at the seams with info rmation concerning the subject of investing and finance. Many of the characters are financially modeled somehow with traits of their species or some innate quality that they possess. Dirty Haree, a little white rabbit explains to Bob about open-ended funds. Shelley, a giant leatherback turtle, talks about retirement shells, and a giant panda named Panda Monium describes the stock market when prices begin to fall. Bob also meets several very humorous parodies of famous personalities, such as Mick Jaguar, Warren Bassett, and Billy Goatz along the way.
Written in a style that is much less technical and more easily understood than other financial instruction books, "Capitalist Dogs" is guaranteed to capture the attention and educate anyone interested in the world of finance and investing. The book is loaded with tons of information that is easy to follow and provides a very entertaining and highly educational story.
