2. Liar s Poker: Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street Liar's Poker: Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Michael Lewis' Liar's Poker is a must read for anyone trying to understand the 2008 crisis in mortgage lending and home ownership. In fact, a new edition of the book should be published with a forward by Ben Bernake or Hank Paulson. Although an autobiography about a mid-1980's newbie to Wall Street... more info

3. The Wisdom of Crowds The Wisdom of Crowds
from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Afterthoughts: The title could have been "The Wisdom of One Man" because author James Surowiecki impressively exemplifies his theory - that large groups of people are collectively smarter than the smartest individuals themselves - through countless examples from past and present world affairs.... more info

4. A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World
from Atlantic Monthly Press
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
Unfortunately, this is not a serious work of history, and is full of contradictions of 'facts' in addition to mistakes. The list of references is impressively long, but often irrelevant. There were many passages in which the author seemed to have suspended incredulity of his references. The subtitle... more info

from McGraw-Hill
Price: $14.93

Customer Review:
It's taking me a long time to read this because I become so angry that I have to put the boook down. This well-documented collection of mistakes at the highest financial levels, and the following "spin", demonstrates that the bigger the job, the more likelihood of error, and the greatest likelihood... more info

7. The Panic of 1907: Lessons Learned from the Market s Perfect Storm The Panic of 1907: Lessons Learned from the Market's Perfect Storm
from Wiley
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
The Panic of 1907 begins with the roaring economy at the time---the boom that always comes before the bust. Then comes the initial shock---the San Francisco Earthquake---which shook not only the ground and brought down the buildings but put new strains on an already stretched capital market with new... more info

from Touchstone
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
I read this book for a Microeconomics class that I took with Dr. Gertmenian at Pepperdine in California back in the late 1980s.
I enjoyed learning about this handful of powerful philosophers who helped shape economic theory. Some of their theories make good sense; other theories make no sense.... more info

from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I had mixed feelings throughout the book. The book started out really well and captivating, but kind of stalled as I continued reading on. I almost gave up reading it, having set a rule to myself that I should not force myself finishing a book I am no longer captivated by. I am glad I broke my own... more info

from M.E. Sharpe
Price: $21.56

Customer Review:
The authors have written a book with a clear-cut agenda--to force American students to recognize and overcome their evil "Eurocentric" biases. (The word "Eurocentric" too often today is code for racist.) While I do agree that there are other histories, other perspectives, trashing Europe, Europeans,... more info
