You can also try "The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine" by Michael Lewis is really a good business economy book.This is the no 1 New York Times bestseller.
This is the first book I've read by Michael Lewis, and I hope to read his other work. The book was incredibly informative and fast paced, but also managed to be highly entertaining. I laughed out loud at parts, became darkly angry during other parts, and by the end felt quite informed about elements of the housing collapse. I highly recommend this book |

I highly recommend this book Like all Michael Lewis books, it offers an interesting perspective on a complex topic in an artful way. However, it gets repetitive at certain points and drags on at times. If you're not a financial professional, you'll be completely lost by the subject matter. Even if you are a financial professional, you'll find yourself lost at times. All in all, if your looking for a read that does a great job of explaining the subprime mortgage crisis, then this book is for you. |

What is the book about?  Are there any interesting advice inside? I have started reading 'Unthinking: The Surprising Forces Behind What We Buy' by Harry Beckwith lately. One interesting I got from the book was that people love to play and hear stories. So as an entrepreneur, it is important to tap into our target market's love for play and stories. Such as telling an inspirational story behind how we started our business and make the buying process fun for our customers (such as auctions and special discounts). |

European Economics (El Agraa) is an excellent book for understanding currency in the EU context. A lot of discussion on exchange rates etc..

"Debunking Economics" by Steve Keen is worth looking at first, before you read other
economics texts.
In the same vein, a Warren Buffet quote:

YOU are the patsy"

The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman is good if you want a good overview of modern business thought.

This book was a great disappointment as it turned into an anti government rant very quickly. It is a shame that it could have a title that is so misleading. |

This book was a great disappointment as it turned into an anti government rant very quickly. It is a shame that it could have a title that is so misleading. The book deals with the basic items of controversy between the libertarian ant the Keynesian school of economics. It strongly supports the former with convincing arguments. Nevertheless it is not a dogmatic libertarian peace of work as it admits the problems of capitalistic progress. Personally i feel impressed of the quality of arguments and the clarity of the conclusions. Overall it is a magnificent book,strongly recommended! |

First off, it’s fantastic seeing someone pay attention to Steve Keen’s book. I have been a fan for years and it is no coincidence that he won an award for being the person who most accurately predicted the financial crisis. |

"The Robber Barons" cant remember the author but it's on scribd.
"Propaganda" by Edward Bernays.
The older books are a lot more honest.

I highly recommend this book I found the book repetitious. He tells the same story from three different points of view, even though it was the same story. The first and last part of the book were very informative, the middle could have been skipped and the book would have accomplished the same. There are also good lessons to be learned. Do not invest in thing you do not understand and do your homework when you hire an investment manager. |

The Wealth of Nations.
And
The Theory of Moral Sentiments.
Adam Smith is often described as the "founding father of economics". A great deal of what is now considered standard theory about the theory about markets was developed by Adam Smith. Two books, Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations are of great importance. |

I haven't read it yet,i had a look on it's reviews on amazon and think I will give it a try. Adam Smith's books are interesting as they really ARE among the first few books written on the subject of economics. It's like you are witnessing a part of history by reading his books. However, he can be a little bit too repetitious also, like what noviapriani said about The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine. |
