Fundamentals of Risk and Insurance |
 |
This consumer-oriented textbook addresses the
principles of risk management without skimping on the discussion of insurance.
It summarizes the nature of pure risk on the individual and on society and
illustrates how insurance can be used to deal with the problems posed by
such risk. Mirroring the diverse experience of its authors, the text is
equally effective in presenting the principles of insurance theory and offering
how-to advice to students. Throughout, the main emphasis is on the insurance
product and the use of insurance within the risk management framework. The
traditional fields of life insurance, health insurance, property and liability
insurance, and social insurance are treated in terms of their relationship
to the wide range of insurable risks to which the individual and the business
firm are exposed. |
