| 3. |  | Manias, Panics and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises (Wiley Investment Classics Series)
from John Wiley & Sons Inc
Customer Review:

from Amer Media
Customer Review:
"Even if the Fed chairman really possessed the singular genius our media and politicians regularly ascribe to him, what if things have reached a point at which the Fed simply cannot stop the collapse?

| 5. |  | The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath: The Past and Future of American Affluence
from Random House
Price: $17.16
Customer Review:

Nevertheless, despite his occasional denials, the reader quickly gets the impression that inflation has been THE story of... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Extremely useful for Economic and Finance Majors/pursuers. I call it a Pre-Corporate Finance book. It teaches you the basics in financial instruments such as valuing bonds, portfolio theories, foreign exchange market, and also how to read the WSJ (Wall Street Journal). | 4.0 / 5.0

Price: $14.93
Customer Review:
This book is a disappointment. For the happy few it might be an interesting read, but for someone intereted in the general ramifications of the Greenspan era it is a huge dissappointment.
The book seems to be a blow-by-blow vendetta of the author against Alan Greenspan. And while the author... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
