Aftershock(Inequality for All--Movie Tie-in Edition)

Review:I thought the book was very informative. I had imagined that it would be somewhat "preaching to the choir," but there was a lot that I learned. I read it for a book club, and believe we are going to see the movie it is associated with as well. Read more

Revised and Expanded Third Edition - Irrational Exuberance
Revised and Expanded Third Edition - Irrational Exuberance

Review:Well written but the solutions offered rely on government which has a poor track record of providing real solutions . I would have hoped for more specific suggestions for a 72 year old couple with a small business to reduce risks in stock and bond markets using index funds and asset allocation. Worth a read to make one aware of the realities which lie ahead. Read more

A Letter of Warning to America - The New Road to Serfdom
A Letter of Warning to America - The New Road to Serfdom

Review:My expectations for a collapse of the global monetary fantasies makes this comparison of eurozone and American political thinking since the election of Obama good for a few bits of information that I might otherwise have not considered significant. Europe had a large number of baby Babylons that produced higher swindle fanatics based on local customs and thinking. The eurozone bureaucrats hate Israel because it has a national ideology that is the opposite of the kind of market thinking banks wis... Read more

The Errors of Socialism (The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek)

Review:I was hesitant to purchase this book because the title led me to believe that this was just a rehash of The Road To Serfdom. Instead, it turns out to be a philosophical work that in my opinion would be more accurately titled The Extended Order as opposed to The Fatal Conceit.
