Sick of co-workers pestering him with questions about investments, Ken Kurson, a Worth Magazine staff writer who special-izes in personal finance, produced 15 copies of what today is Green (members.aol.com/greenzine/INDEX.1.HTM). Kurson's homespun zine of "personal finance for the unashamed" strips away the jargon to expose the nuts and bolts of the financial market. Green is Kurson's way of reaching average Joes and Janes who have decided to play the personal finance game.
Kurson hopes to maintain his zine roots while offering sound financial advice to the less financially endowed. "Information is being taken from the very few and put into the hands of many," he says. "Green is about making sure the many are well informed."
