In Financial Literacy For All, John criticizes one of the biggest challenges facing humanity as “fixing income inequality will reignite the American dream.” I concur with John’s optimism that we can use the appropriate tools, knowledge, and skills to change the world and solve our problems. Drawing on lessons learned from history and his own personal experiences, John creates a powerful business plan for America to drive empowerment through education”, said Jamie Dimon, CEO, JPMorgan Chase.
