A very thorough and interesting read. Butler is an excellent writer, and the text has very few grammatical and spelling errors. Explanations are clear, sources are typically given for further reference, and examples are almost always provided, and are very thorough as well. This book gives an introductory and then some to almost every area of multinational finance and investing. Be aware, this is not a book on international management practice, it is very much a book about currency conversion, hedging, international portfolios, etc. Although international corporate governance is touched upon, I would recommend something else if you want to learn about that area.Why I gave it four stars: the additional readings. A textbook, especially an introductory one, is supposed to be a gateway to learn more about the topic. It is my pet peeve when authors include dozens of journals to read instead of books. The reason being is that it is mostly students reading these books. Students, if anyone isn't aware, are usually poor. They don't have money to be buying journal after journal. Give us something we can check out at our library, or at least find for a reasonable price at the bookstore. Recommending journals isn't helping anyone. There are some books recommended, but not many.Other than that, I highly recommend professors adopting this textbook for an international finance class!
Great book by a great author. I took Professor Butler's class at Michigan State and continue to use what he taught us in this book and his lectures on a daily basis in the professional world.
Great!
