1.Crash Proof: How to Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse (Lynn Sonberg Books) by: Peter D. Schiff, John Downes February 26, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $27.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.45 You Save: $9.50 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $17.03
Peter Schiff is a professional doomsayer who strongly makes the case that the American economy is going to hell in a hand basket. Fast. He lays out this case in his book, CRASH PROOF. Given the backdrop of recent months, it is hard to say he is wrong. The book came out @ February of 2007 so Schiff is prescient in a number of realms. If doom and gloom is your cup of tea, you have come to the right book. Schiff sees over consumption, inflation and misguided government policies as providing a recipe for economic and financial disaster. My gripe is that the book's title oversells and does not really constitute truth in advertising. I estimate that only about one-fourth of the book is prescriptive in offering ways to "crash proof" yourself and your finances. ... Read More

3.Enough: True Measures of Money, Business, and Life by: John C. Bogle November 10, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $24.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.47 You Save: $8.48 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $14.43
Mr. Bogle makes some valid points about the industry he helped shape. The insights he shares shed light on just how we got to the mess we are in today. If I had to fault the book it would be for spending to many pages on his personal life and accomplishments. I understand that he wanted to illustrate his credentials but I believe he could have done so briefly and then expanded his discussion of the financial industry.

4.Jim Cramer's Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World by: James J. Cramer March 29, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $26.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.16 You Save: $8.84 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $7.99
Unlike his negative review onair, his book explains in simple terms how and what to do for trading and investing. Good book for the beginner trader like myself. :P MUST BUY. Serious product.

5.Getting to Yes : How to Negotiate Agreement Without Giving in (AUDIO CASSETTE) by: Roger Fisher January 01, 1987

Great seller. Provided me with necessary information: such as condition of book, and when i would recieve it.

6.Investing for Change: Profit from Responsible Investment by: Augustin Landier, Vinay B. Nair November 26, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $22.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $15.61 You Save: $7.34 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $10.45
In this current time of American and Global financial turmoil, rising cost of food, increased foreclosures, global warming, corporate bailouts and the recession in the economy, this book outlines the methods of responsible investing to promote a common good in corporate America and in the world market. Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) is a way we can invest responsibly. In a way, "Money Talks". As the authors quoted Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General (page 41): "If implemented, they have tremendous potential to more closely align investment practices with the goals of the United Nations, thereby contributing to a more stable and inclusive global economy" Investing in my core values is an interesting concept to me, and has a broader scope of promoting a ...

7.The End of Prosperity: How Higher Taxes Will Doom the Economy--If We Let It Happen by: Arthur B. Laffer, Stephen Moore, Peter Tanous October 14, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $27.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.82 You Save: $9.18 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $13.99
This is an exceptional book for those who relate taxes and economy. The authors with years of experience analyze in a comprehensible way the effect of high taxation on the economy. In particular, the advantages of flat taxation has been clearly and convincible demonstrated. It is wishfull thinking for our politicians to read this book and begin a non-ideological discussion on taxes. Furthermore, it is anazing to read the 180 degree turn of eastern Europe to such taxation. As Milton Freedman said " there is no Democracy without economic freedom"

8.When Markets Collide: Investment Strategies for the Age of Global Economic Change by: Mohamed El-Erian May 23, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $27.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.45 You Save: $9.50 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $15.94
Poorly written. He admits he's splitting his audiences and the result is a mess of a book where the big themes are well known to even the most remedial investor. If you're really interested in his ideas all that's needed is a video interview search of which there are numerous.

9.First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently by: Curt Coffman July 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.70
While a very busy category with a depth of choices, this is one of the better books I've read for analyzing how to manage others. It helps to develop keener abilities into why some in management excel and achieve superior results and others never build on what they inherit. There is a buffet of statistics to back up the analysis and add credibility. This is a fine addition to anyone's library of self-improvement books to be more efficient and effective in business. Likewise, the employee can intuitively reverse engineer the information and make his performance more in tune with superiors, and set himself up for moving up the ladder. Great book.

10.Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises (Wiley Investment Classics) by: Charles P. Kindleberger, Robert Aliber October 04, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.57 You Save: $6.38 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $13.98
Kindleberger who passed away before the current financial crisis wrote the best book I have read on financial crises. His analysis of boom and bust cycle is prescient. It is much superior to Morris' still excellent The Trillion Dollar Meltdown: Easy Money, High Rollers, and the Great Credit Crash and Shiller's mediocre The Subprime Solution: How Today's Global Financial Crisis Happened, and What to Do about It. Kindleberger thesis is that manias and panics result from the pro-cyclical changes in credit following the Hyman Minsky model. Credit expands during economic booms as creditors compete for market share. Credit expansions fuel asset bubbles. At a turning point, leveraged speculative borrowers can't service their debt and have to liquidate their collateral (dubbed "Minsky Moment"). Asset ... Read More
