Customer Review: While there is some interesting information here, I found the book sketchy and ominous in more ways than one. It offers an "objective view from all sides," which in the U.S. today means from far right to right to center right. Who is to blame for our debts? Oh, politicians, of course. There is no... more info
Customer Review: The world is flat? What do you meant the world is flat? I tried reading some of this book. All I could get out of it is that genius no longer excels, while dufuses abound all over cyberspace. Crap. I have seen the dufuses, the spammers, the porn sites, the trashy material. But I've also seen top... more info
Customer Review: Although I admire Mr. Krugman as one of the great economic thinkers of our time, I think he misses the point, on several accounts, vis-a-vis our current economic crisis.

While many historical facts are presented like the Iraq War or the Control of Panama Canal, the author's stories of meeting "local people" seem made up and don't provide any useful evidence to the reader beyond... more info
Customer Review: Based on all the reviews on this book, and being a fervent student for continuous learning. I'm making it my duty to further study the markets.
Customer Review: Absolutely terrific review of the various alternative asset classes. A great complement to books like the 4 Pillars by William Bernstein.
Customer Review: 1. The content is substantive and occasionally provocative, but the writing's off-putting - didactic, repetitive, pedantic, occasionally patronizing - and altogether too much devoted to the personal pronoun.
2. On second thought - after reading the 1st 98 pages - I realized it was not written... more info
