While everyone knows how important I think financial literacy is to the future of our country and our world, you should know I am not alone.  Here are some notable quotes on the topic of financial literacy from business, educational, political, and other leaders around the world. The quotes are not specifically endorsing Braun's book, however they do reinforce that success and financial literacy go together hand-in-hand at the personal, family, and community levels. 

"Increasing financial literacy among our nation's youths is one of the most important things we can do to help prepare them for college and life in the working world." (Source: Financial Football CD Cover, 10/9/07)

"However, much more work still needs to take place in terms of placing greater emphasis on economics and personal finance in the K-12 curriculum; requiring separate stand-alone courses in these subjects as part of high school graduation requirements; and testing student knowledge levels."
