The first book, Basic Course of Economics: Principles of Man Kun's Economics, includes two books, macro and micro. I hope these two books were translated by Peking University. At first glance, you don't need a deep understanding, just cultivate your own economic thinking. Junior macro and micro are definitely good companions for beginners.
Second, with a certain foundation in western economics, you can directly transfer to finance. The first choice for financial introduction must be monetary finance.
Because there are many textbooks named after this name, I recommend two:
1. If you prefer the American model and are more interested in understanding the American financial market, the formation structure of the Federal Reserve, and the implementation process of American monetary policy, then the National People's Congress will publish mishkin's Monetary Finance as the first choice (content analysis of the new edition of 20 10). Compared with many domestic textbooks, mishkin's model for analyzing financial problems is easier to understand and closer to the operation of financial markets.
2. To understand the formation, development and operation of China's financial system, Huang Da's finance is absolutely first-class in China. 12 The third edition 12 revised in February is very thick and comprehensive. Each key content is followed by an analysis of the corresponding systems and institutions in China.
After reading the third book, Monetary Finance, I can almost go to work in a bank. If you study professionally again, you will deepen from every knowledge point of finance.
So the fourth book is chosen according to your own interests.
1. In international finance, understand the international currency flow, system and system. Fudan University. International Finance in Jiang Boke
PS: You may need Krugman's knowledge of international economics.
2. In corporate finance, this course is mainly about financial management, project evaluation, securities valuation, corporate mergers and acquisitions, etc. The ninth edition of Corporate Finance by Ross Machinery Industry Press must be used.
3. In terms of securities investment, when it comes to finance, besides banks, securities are most frequently mentioned. This kind of book
Investment is published by Bodie Machinery Industry Press; The Bible for Investors: Graham's Securities Analysis
4. In terms of financial derivatives, this has reached a slightly advanced field. After all, financial instruments didn't start long in China. Forward, futures, options, swaps, CDO and MBS. Choose derivatives such as options and futures from John Hutchison Machinery Industry Press.
PS: Derivatives are very painful for self-study. . .
There should be so many books to read in the whole financial discipline structure.
Supplementary basic knowledge: accounting principles, basic accounting, company law, insurance principles. Finally, "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics" and "Statistics" must be well studied. Without mathematical thinking, you will feel sad about many very simple principles.
