This second edition of the authoritative resource summarizes the
state of consumer finance research across disciplines for expert
findings on―and strategies for enhancing―consumers’ economic
health. New and revised chapters offer current research insights
into familiar concepts (retirement saving, bankruptcy, marriage
and finance) as well as the latest findings in emerging areas,
including healthcare costs, online shopping, financial therapy,
and the neuroscience behind buyer behavior. The expanded coverage
also reviews economic challenges of diverse populations such as
ethnic groups, youth, older adults, and entrepreneurs, reflecting
the ubiquity of monetary issues and concerns. Underlying all
chapters is the increasing importance of financial literacy
training and other large-scale interventions in an era of
economic transition.
