Andreas Niederwieser

I am a statistician by trade who takes a great interest in financial markets and economics. My first book, "Financial Unorthodoxy - Practicable Views on Money, Banking and Investing", was conceived in response to a perceived abdication of personal responsibilities in matters of private wealth management and economic thought. I hope to incite my audience to be critical of common financial wisdoms and, most importantly, think independently about their finances. To that end, I aim to provide facts and views on a variety of essential topics that every person should ponder at some point in their adult life. I had not foreseen myself ever authoring a book, but personal circumstances afforded me the time and motivation to make it happen. Despite holding a degree in related subjects, I would consider my approach to economic writing rather unacademic. My knowledge is derived from personal experience and careful observation of that which seems to conveniently elude the trendsetters and potentates.
