This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly

34 reviews
Carmen M. Reinhart, Kenneth Rogoff

Princeton University Press, 2009

A good place to start
It is very rare these days to find a book that does not engage in wild hype regarding the causes of the current financial difficulties. Many of these books blame financial modeling for causing what some have characterized as a "meltdown", or "bloodbath", while others point to the failure of regulatory agencies. But this book is different, in that it places the argument into the context of ...

Very good book
This is a really good book that talks about the best ways to store food. There are lots of ways, but not all of them are easy, cheap, or practical. This book gives you all three.

Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy

16 reviews
Joseph E. Stiglitz

W. W. Norton & Company, 2010

Broken Economics Needs New Footing
Joseph Stiglitz takes aim at Wall Street greed with characteristic forthrightness (Chapter 5 is "The Great American Robbery"), but his real target is the bankrupt global economic system led by Wall Street. It is a system based on a lethal combination of greed, propaganda, and phony economics. The true motivation of market fundamentalism (= neo-liberalism) is greed, but the propaganda is ...

Comeback America: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility

12 reviews
David M. Walker

Random House, 2010

Not an easy "read" but incredibly important for every citizen
Ok, the subject matter is dry, but this book is so important that it should be required reading for every citizen. If you can't bring yourself to read it, then at least watch the documentary film I.O.U.S.A., which prominently features the author and at least reveals the basic financial problems facing all of us. The book gives some possible solutions. He tackles every sacred cow in government.

Viking Adult, 2009

Too Big to Fail
This was an enjoyable read and I was left with wanting more pages to read. As someone who lived the crisis, albeit outside of New York, it puts into context what we all thought at the time. People were trying to do anything and everything to keep the system from failing. It also left me with the feeling that these institutions are still too big to fail and that these institutions are poorly ...

James Wesley Rawles

Ulysses Press, 2009

Very good info
So much information! Mr. Rowles is not very exelent story teller, but I am amazed how much knowledge he has in so many departments. Yes, there are some paragpaphs i had to skip where he explained so detailed about guns, or how to remodel your car, or plane. I already prepare for what is going to happen, but I realy appreciate his so many more good advices. Absolutetly recomend to everyone! ...

On the Brink: Inside the Race to Stop the Collapse of the Global Financial System

Henry M. Paulson

Business Plus, 2010

Enlightening
This book is a very interesting and well written account of an economy in collapse and the people in both public and private positions nearest to the center of the unfolding debacle, and their efforts to stop the collapse. At dead center was Secretary Paulson, and his story is a fascinating description of all that was going on at the time. His description of some of the actions of key players ...

Wiley, 2009

"Don't Worry, Not a Single Penny of your Tax Dollars Will Fund the Bailouts."
"That's right. The bank and corporate bailout money is not coming from our taxes. Instead we're just borrowing it from foreign investors. We're also printing some of it...Of course, we will never, ever have to pay it all back, because even if we tried (and we won't), we never could." That is why the U.S. Government will eventually be unable to borrow money and the nation will have to start living ...

Peter D. Schiff, John Downes

Wiley, 2009

Best book I've read in a while
Great book to read if you REALLY want to know what's happening on Wall Street and Washington. The author of this book "Schiff" is running for Connecticut senate for 2010. If you want to see the U.S.A. succeed I almost guarantee you'll be pulling for him to win this senate seat.

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine
Michael Lewis

W. W. Norton & Company, 2010

A brilliant account?character-rich and darkly humorous?of how the U.S. economy was driven over the cliff. Truth really is stranger than fiction. Who better than the author of the signature bestseller Liar?s Poker to explain how the event we were told was impossible?the free fall of the American economy?finally occurred; how the things that we wanted, like ridiculously easy money and greatly expanded home ownership, were vehicles for that ...

Charles Gasparino

HarperBusiness, 2009

Great book on the financial meltdown
If you appreciate Charles Gasparino as he appears on CNBC, you will enjoy reading this book written in his words and with his insight into the subject. Charlie gives a very good and accurate description of the financial meltdown. He provides an extensive background on the subject, starting with the beginning of the problems many years ago. He also provides a lot of insight into the people and ...

I.O.U.: Why Everyone Owes Everyone and No One Can Pay

6 reviews
John Lanchester

Simon & Schuster, 2010

Brilliant
This should be required reading for every politician in the world and everyone who ever plans to vote. Lanchester is absolutely right that the world of finance is too much of a mystery to almost everyone. This is a remarkably accessible guide to that world, the people who live in it, and its mystifying laws and practices. A great read. Buy it -- read it -- send it to your friends. BTW, I read ...

The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life

81 reviews
Ben Sherwood

Grand Central Publishing, 2009

Paramedic thoughts...
I have read so many survival books and none compare to this one. Most others read like an instruction manual with a very short opening chapter on positive attitude. Survivor Club however takes more of a scientific approach to survival. All the quizzes and experiments throughout make it personal. You learn a great deal about yourself. I am a paramedic and we are trained to remain calm and aware ...

The Empathic Civilization: The Race to Global Consciousness in a World in Crisis

5 reviews
Jeremy Rifkin

Tarcher, 2009

HUGE Book, Deep Look From One Perspective
This is a society-changing piece of work. This is a magnum opus from a very specific point of view that overlooks both major consciousness figures and major biosphere figures. Herman Daly gets one note, Tom Atlee, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Steve McIntosh are not in this book. Buckminster Fuller, Paul Hawken, the Meadows, E. O. Wilson on Consilience, J. F Rischard on HIGH NOON, etcetera, are ...
