Customer Review: This book gives out no secrets - it is more of a fanzine. Don't waste your money. The Creature From Jeykl Island is better history and Web of Debt is better current events.
Customer Review: This book which I purchased new from Amazon is missing pages 297-344. If I tried to understand the hot topic in all of finance right now I'd be up a creek because the publisher didn't feel I should have the tools to learn about it. Ridiculous for a book in its fifth edition.
Customer Review: This is probably the best book I have read on economics. The authors really simplifies macroeconomics in laymen's terms. I would recommend this to everyone who want to understand why american economy is so weak and will continue to be so unless fundamental changes happen.
Customer Review: This was a great buy! I saved so much money buying the book from this site and the book was in perfect condition. From now on when I buy my university textbooks I will make sure to go to this site before I bother buying it directly from the school.
I am so happy we have Amazon as another tool... more info
Customer Review: With extensive access to all players involved (except one, who declined to be interviewed) William D Cohan does a marvelous job in recounting the history of a bank from another time and the history of investment banking right into the 1990s.
When reading the book I could not escape the feeling... more info
Customer Review: This book came in on time but, the book itslef is out of the ordinary.
The begining of the book start on the back cover upside down....never seen anything like this before.
Customer Review: The writer did a very good job of explaining from his view what the world
of investment banking is like. He also gives a good perspective of the
changes that have occurred and what should be improved. I was looking for
a good commentary on investment banking including past events... more info
Customer Review: The nice thing about this book is that it delivers exactly what it advertises. It claims to be easier to understand than most risk management manuals and it truly is, while still maintaining comprehensive coverage of the subject matter.
