1.		Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk from Wiley Price: $13.57 Customer Review: I read this when it came out and thought it was pretty good. The first half, about how people figured out how probability worked, was really entertaining. The end, about how the geniuses on Wall St. conquered risk, is so wrong it's hilarious. Bernstein is a victim of what Taleb calls the ludic... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		The Great Contraction, 1929-1933: (New Edition) (Princeton Classic Editions) from Princeton University Press Price: $17.95 Customer Review: It is somewhat a morose sense of timing that a new edition of this book just came out. The authors write what is probably the definitive study of the monetary factors behind the great depression, and hopefully, provide enough information to avoid a repeat. As should be evident by the subject, a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		A Primer on Money, Banking, and Gold (Peter L. Bernstein's Finance Classics) (Peter L. Bernstein's Finance Classics) from Wiley Price: $13.57 Customer Review: Prospective readers should note that this is not a new book. Rather, it's a repackaged reprint of one of Bernstein's earliest books (circa 1965). Fed Chairman Emeritus Paul Volker has written a shiny new introduction and Bernstein himself takes a few pages at the beginning to place his old ideas in... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Capital Ideas Evolving from Wiley Price: $19.77 Customer Review: I have a lot of respect for finance professors. To quote a felicitous expression, they perform "mathematics in flesh and blood". They are the surgeons of the modern economy, cutting through inefficiencies and making sure the blood of capital flows into the arteries of corporate accounts or personal... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		The Power of Gold: The History of an Obsession from Wiley Price: $23.18 Customer Review: The Power of Gold is the best history book I have ever read. The book traces the history of gold as currency from 500 B.C. through the 20th Century. It is full of fascinating vingettes. Did you know that Sir Isaac Newton was the last of the magicians? An academic recluse until the age of 58 he... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Capital Ideas: The Improbable Origins of Modern Wall Street from Free Press Customer Review: The popular literature about the world of investment in the 1980s carries titles that reflect those events: Bonfire of the Vanities, Barbarians at the Gates, The Predators' Ball, and Liars' Poker. The main characters are arrogant, greedy, cynical, and shady. The movie Wall Street summed it all up:... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
