After much consideration, we determined that it actually would be more beneficial to create a course that compares and contrasts the two major global economic theories, examining them in ways that move past the polemics many of us are used to and looking at these systems as they relate to one another and the world at large.

The book was very detailed and informational. exactly what I was looking for. The author gives info on how lenders determine if you qualify, home inspections, realtors, and lists all the things you should be thinking about before you buy a home from saving to closing. this is not for investors but truly for someone who knows nothing about home buying, its a good book to start you off.
