* The key types of pension scheme

"I have never seen such a concise description of pension institutions that was so crystal clear."

 

"Informative without being patronizing and set out in a logical sequence with each chapter containing questions to help the reader consolidate what they have just learnt."

 

"If you are looking for a solid grounding in the theory and practice of economics in relation to pensions this is a vital addition to your bookshelf."
