Customer Review: This is a really important book as a review of current history and as a cautionary tale about the way that a very few self-designated elites can control financial markets and bring about the destruction of entire societies without any regard to the people devastated. It is a shocking portrayal of... more info
Customer Review: The book is a thorough account on what happened at LTCM. Absolutely fantastic writing skills. What I liked the most though is how Goldman came on top as usual :-) Interesting, hein? Goldman is amazing.
Customer Review: Reading this book gave me a whole new perspective about life, economics and individual responsibility. It's a must for everyone, even if you are not a student of economics.
Customer Review: Dr. Friedman is plainly an educated and articulate man and his arguments have a seductive veneer of logic to them. The tragedy is that his interpretations are extremely selective: he focuses exclusively on what he perceives to be the strengths of the free market, while completely disregarding its... more info
This is a very good, clearly written and authoritative book.

I believe that neoliberal ideas have caused incalculable harm over the course of the last... more info
Customer Review: This is another one of those books that I picked up at a flea market for 50 cents. I had it sitting on a shelf for about six months before I finally took it down and read it. After I read the book I was so impressed, I felt that I wanted to tell the man personally how I felt. I found his web page... more info
Customer Review: This book reveals what needs to be done to bring the third world out of poverty. The everyday American does not have a clue about what made America's economy the best in the world. Property rights are the key to advance any civilization out of poverty. Just look at china and how with their economy... more info
Customer Review: I could write 10 pages on my specific agreements and disagreements with Marx's economics analysis, but this isn't the place for that. I guess more than anything else I've got two lingering reactions. First, I wanna grab Karl Marx by the shoulders, shake him, and tell him that, however much physics... more info
