    I am surprised that you do not mention Empire of Debt : The Rise Of An Epic Financial Crisis by Bill Bonner and Addison Wiggin in the Economics section.

    Barry,

    Do you have any suggested readings on money/risk management?

    Tommorow’s Gold by Marc Faber gives an interesting perspective on business cycles.

  4. John Navin commented on Dec 9

    Predators Ball by Connie Bruck. It’s a great read, especially following a good read of Liar’s Poker, which you mentioned.

    Nice list, but let’s be honest, Freakonomics isn’t really about economics, it’s about applying logic.

    Charles Ellis ‘Winning the losers game’ for its definition of investment policy and why we each need one.

    Many have pieces which are good.

    Peter Bernstein ‘Four Pillars of Investing’ has a nice 360 degree view to it although he never manages to construct the ediface.

    DailySpeculations.com had some of interest a few weeks ago.

    “Ahead of the Curve: A Commonsense Guide to Forecasting Business and Market Cycles ” by Joseph Ellis. I’m wondering how this compares to “Beating the Business Cycle”…
