Unabridged Audiobook
Really good overview of the beginning of big banking after World War 2 (formation of the Federal Reserve) through late 1960's (when book was published). This book does justice to the title being a "primer" (one in a half dozen series along the same line explaining how our country is run one industry at a time). That being said, it does go into technical talk that can feel deeper than the most casual reader cares to go. So, it definitely will more fit the bill as a history lesson for an economics student. Though still light enough for investor base knowledge.
