21. The Real Price of Everything: Rediscovering the Six Classics of Economics The Real Price of Everything: Rediscovering the Six Classics of Economics
from Sterling
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
This book is the verbatim texts of several classics. That's sort of cool, but to be honest, reading 18th century prose is slow. Very, very slow...
Michael Lewis adds some commentary. Unfortunately, that's only a few pages per book. What is there is generally quite good, but it is far too... more info

22. Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron
from Portfolio Hardcover

Customer Review:
This book is about a reality so different from my own, I use it as escapism. Although the transactions described are Byzantine, the book nevertheless holds the reader's attention for over 400 pp. Events are presented roughly chronologically; the characters and information accrue like an approaching... more info

23. China Shakes the World: A Titan s Rise and Troubled Future -- and the Challenge for America (Edition 001) China Shakes the World: A Titan's Rise and Troubled Future -- and the Challenge for America (Edition 001)
from Mariner Books
Price: $9.49

Customer Review:
I picked this book up while doing quite a bit of reading on East Asia, and it's by far the best I chose. Telling the tale of China through experiences and interviews was a brilliant way to make a lot of information easily digestible. This book wasn't written to tell the scholarly what they already... more info

25. Rethinking the Great Depression (American Ways Series) Rethinking the Great Depression (American Ways Series)
from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher
Price: $11.65

Customer Review:
Considering the current economic environment, this book should be read by anyone who wants to understand the differences between what really happened during a very, very difficult time in history vs. the odious comparisons some have made to it in an attempt to describe our present crisis. I found... more info

I decided to read this book after hearing about it on NPR. I just had to know more about how Americas favorite fruit had control over much of the worlds great powers. Its awesome. I love all food and want to know as much about it as I can. I sure know a lot more about Bananas than I used to. I also... more info

27. A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960 A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960
from Princeton University Press
Price: $49.03

Customer Review:
.... rush in where even fools and Englishmen fear to tread. Friedman's "Monetary History" is monumental in research and in influence, and it would be mad indeed to attempt to refute it or "review" it in a few hundred words. I read it in an earlier edition, and even then I certainly made no scholarly... more info

28. [no image] Oil
from Frederick Ellis
Price: $38.41

Customer Review:
Though set in the California oil fields of the 1920s, the great Upton Sinclair's classic "Oil!" is as relevant and meaningful(aka "alarming" and "frightening")today as it was when it was written more than 80 years ago.
The characters are great, well written and well developed, coming off the... more info

29. The Race between Education and Technology The Race between Education and Technology
from Belknap Press
Price: $28.76

Customer Review:
I found this book fascinating and would recommend it although I found it frustratingly flawed, and therefore, without the authors' further comments, will eventually have to reduce my 4 star rating. The book's core thesis is that the rate of technological change in the 20th century has been constant,... more info

from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $20.76

Customer Review:
This book is a compilation of columns written by Paul Krugman mostly addressing the economy, warning of impending crises. Another words, a warning from 2004(and earlier) about what we are currently experiencing.
The author is highly critical of the current administration's use of tax cuts for... more info
