Review:Jim Rickards provides another prescient look into the future of our monetary system. The last 30 pages or so are especially helpful as I have read those several times. Excellent job of breaking down the problems of our monetary and fiscal policy, and realistic enough not to try and sell us any false hope. There is no fix. Only steps you can take to prepare for the inevitable collapse. Excellent and enjoyable read. Read more

Review:this book was really cheap to rent compared to if i had got it on campus. but it smells just awful, I don't know how to describe it but what ever it is I can't get it to go away. it makes anything that touches it smell like it. don't think I'll be renting again. Read more

Review:Very pleased with the way this order turned out. They said it was used but still good looking and it really was. there was just a little use on the cover but the book was completely fine. Extremely satisfied that I only paid a few bucks for this and it was exactly as they said it would be. I would use this seller again. Read more

Review:It is a text book... boring. Term after term - it seems to me many of which are just there for the sake of being a term. To be fair maybe that is the subject matter and not so much the book. But there has to be a better way, a more interesting way of conveying the information without forcing the reader to read a bunch of terms and their definitions. So I take it back - yeah it is the book. Read more

Review:As the book explains, “People often use the term mindset to refer to a core belief about oneself. However, in our experience over three decades helping individuals and organizations, the biggest lever for change is not in self-belief but a fundamental change in the way one sees and regards one’s connections with and obligations to others.” This is the heart of the book.

The authors compare changing your mindset with changing your behavior, noting, “Countless books on personal improvement... Read more

Review:This is a very useful book highlighting how our brains works in business and social interactions. Being aware of this brain-based interaction can only help us perform more effectively. The tricky part is maintaining the self awareness to practice this method. Read more

Review:This book helps you to step back and realize that most people don't master anything quickly, which is what the modern world would have everyone believe. The theme of the book as I took it anyway is Practice (with a capital P). Practice, even when you feel that you're not getting better. You will have advances and setbacks and long periods on the plateau when you feel like its just "not working". Mastery takes a lifetime, and whatever it is you are attempting to master you must realize that you a... Read more

Review:The Mystery of Capital is recommended, among others, by no less than Milton Friedman, Ronald Coase, Margaret Thatcher, and William F. Buckley Jr. That's not why you should read the book. De Soto examines a necessary and misunderstood topic: why are poor countries poor? His arguments and insights make the book a necessary read for the economist, or other educated person.
The main point of The Mystery of Capital is that the seemingly intractable and hopeless situations in Third World countri... Read more

Review:Read this and find out who really rules the world, if anybody. Covers 1913 to 1945. Four men (two replaced by death) make most of the decisions that shape the world. Not always well organized, but educational. Read more
