1. The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World
from Penguin Press HC, The
Price: $17.61

Customer Review:
Light stuff, a bit of everything, hastily assembled for a quick buck while the credit crisis is still around. Niall Ferguson has stopped doing serious works for a long time, being too busy writing best-sellers.

(Memo to those who do: I heard yesterday that he may be at work on a new book right now, so don't get too mad about your current disappointment...)

5. The Great Crash of 1929 The Great Crash of 1929
from Mariner Books
Price: $9.71

Customer Review:
I keep this book around to read occasionally. My edition has a printing history going back to 1954. The stock market crash is a point in history that I've tried to understand. mmm...the bankers kept pumping money into the system...until they couldn't do it anymore. Who were these people and how did... more info

THE PREDATOR STATE
Understanding the financial happenings is so important. We certainly didn't learn any of this in school; highschool anyway.
I heard Kenneth Galbraith interviewed on KCET and placed my order, getting 2 gifts and reading one myself.

from Wiley

Customer Review:
Kindleberger who passed away before the current financial crisis wrote the best book I have read on financial crises. His analysis of boom and bust cycle is prescient. It is much superior to Morris' still excellent The Trillion Dollar Meltdown: Easy Money, High Rollers, and the Great Credit Crash... more info

from Random House
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
If, as Robert J. Samuelson asserts, the "Great Inflation" has largely been forgotten, then this book renders an important service. It is hard for someone who lived through the years and events recounted here to believe that they have been forgotten, but perhaps it's so. Samuelson's book is generally... more info

As a person outside of the financial industry, I found the book to reveal an interesting glimpse into the history of the most venerated firm in Wall Street, from its humble inception to the present days.
