Mutual fund superstar Peter Lynch and author John Rothchild explain the basics of the stock market and business in an investing guide that will enlighten and entertain anyone high school age or older.

The reason, Lynch and Rothchild say, is that the basics of investing—the fundamentals of our economic system and what they have to do with the stock market—are not taught in school. At a time when people are having to make important decisions about saving for college and 401(k) retirement funds, this lack of basic investment education can have tragic consequences.
