More Money Than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite
from Penguin Press HC, The.
As one who is relatively uneducated in the ways of the financial world, I found this book rather easy to read and understand. I was particularly interested in how the author turned around my thinking about hedge funds. I had thought they were probably at the root of the financial disaster, and here,...
Your Credit Score, Your Money & What's at Stake (Updated Edition): How to Improve the 3-Digit Number that Shapes Your Financial Future
from FT Press.
For anyone living today in the US their credit score is one of the most important pieces of financial information that they can have. And yet, until just under a decade ago most regular consumers did not have an access to it. Even today this score is not easy to obtain and one must go through one of...
The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness
from Thomas Nelson.
Dave Ramsey lays out common-sense advice, such as to live within your means, as part of a straightforward seven-step plan. The plan is a good, basic, and as easy to follow as a personal financial plan worth the paper it's printed on can be.
The one major flaw is the advice to pay off one's...
One for the Money (Stephanie Plum, No. 1)
from St. Martin's Griffin.
I am very satisfied with goodwill-discount-books. The book (One For The Money by Janet Evanovich) was ordered on 6/26 and received 7/6 and was in the shape it was said to be. I will seriously consider ordering from them in the future.
The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World
from Penguin (Non-Classics).
This book offers an opportunity to understanding what is really going on in today's global financial crisis.
An elegant summary of the most important aspect of money and monetary instruments.
After reading this book you will find yourself greatly enriched in the areas of contemporary...
The Art Of Money Getting
from Kessinger Publishing, LLC.
If you're business owner, marketer, or sell products to people, you can probably benefit from PT Barnum's book the Art of Money Getting. It's truly amazing how little things change over the years. This is an easy read, and a great addition to your collection. The particular edition is edited and...
You Never Give Me Your Money: The Beatles After the Breakup
from Harper.
I've probably read a couple hundred books about music and musicians, but only about 15 or 20 on the Beatles. Out of all those books I can't say that this one was the most enjoyable, but it was certainly one of the most profound, the one that made me think the most about the vast chasm between myth...
Your Money or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence: Revised and Updated for the 21st Century
from Penguin (Non-Classics).
I haven't worked the 9 Steps yet, although I hope to soon. So I can't comment on the program authoritatively.
I first borrowed this book, then bought it. It speaks to the frustration and uncertainty of the times and markets precisely, and it presents a side of the American psyche which is...
Free Money "They" Don't Want You to Know About
from Equity Press.
Kevin Trudeau the man you may have seen on infomercials or seminars does it again. He is a master at finding little know facts and secrets which he clearly communicates back to the general public.
The information in this book can help you find the money you need. In the past Kevin has talked...
How to Make Money in Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times and Bad, Fourth Edition
from McGraw-Hill.
I accidentally published my post in the previous edition but the 4th edition (orange) is the one that I read.
I found this book misleading and mostly unhelpful. I felt compelled to write a review that balances out the bogus 5 star reviews planted by the author or publisher.
It's not all...
The Total Money Makeover Workbook
from Thomas Nelson.
Product arrived ahead of schedule and in condition as promised (like new). Thank you!
Cheerful Money: Me, My Family, and the Last Days of Wasp Splendor
from Back Bay Books.
I would only recommend this book to someone who, from a sociological point of view, wants a view of WASPs in general without getting to know any actual WASPs. The book is so breezy, and most of the characters so ill-developed, that you give up cross-referencing every name he throws around to the...
Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets, Business School Edition, The (2nd Edition)
from Addison Wesley.
Product was as advertised, arrived on time and required, however; quite out of date due to the financial crisis.
When Money Dies: The Nightmare of the Weimar Hyper-inflation
from Old Street Publishing.
I first read this book some 25 years ago. I was so impressed I immediately bought a dozen copies & gave them to pals. (In 1980 they were 3-4 pounds sterling each--it's ironic & interesting that the price of this out-of-print book now fetches multiple zeros).
Here are some parallels...
Dear Money
from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Trade.
India Palmer is a mildly successful writer married to another artist living in New York City in the early 2000s. They have two children and are barely getting by financially--they have to keep up with the Joneses, who in this instance are her banking friends, the Chapmans. The Chapmans introduce her...
Busting Loose From the Money Game: Mind-Blowing Strategies for Changing the Rules of a Game You Can't Win
from Wiley.
I am equally satisfied with this book as I am with Robert's other busting loose book. It tells the "T"ruth as to reality.
Lunch Money
from Atheneum.
it tells you how greg makes his money
he gets it by selling
he sold comics toys and he sold candy
Money: A Suicide Note(Penguin Ink)
from Penguin (Non-Classics).
Maybe an andolescent boy would find this author and this book in particular worthwhile reading. Even if you aspire to be a drunk and a lout, this tiresome book would still not be inspirational. I enjoyed London Fields by same author, even though I thought he may have lifted the idea from Muriel...
Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny
from Spiegel & Grau.
In the past, I already respected Suze Orman's financial advice. After reading this book, my respect increased even more. It was very easy to follow, and she gave websites to access even more detailed information throughout the book.
Even for knowledgeable women like myself, I learned a lot of...
The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
from CreateSpace.
The Management Laboratory Press (2009) and some other recent editions of Keynes's General Theory lack footnotes and an index (which would be handy for referring to Keynes's initial definitions). The MLP edition is also full of disappointing typos that seem to be due to inaccurate scanning. It...
