Recessionwire: the upside of the downturn

1 recommendation

"Three enterprising, albeit jobless, women have pooled their intellectual and creative resources together to create a reference tool, a sounding board, career counseling and hope for the future of those also confronting the harsh realities of today's job market. A positive twist on one of my grandmother's favorite adages (Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you cry alone), this website..."

Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism

1 recommendation

"I saw Kevin Philips on Bill Moyers' last night, where he re-iterated the point of this book: America has allowed finance to eclipse manufacturing, propping it up for over 30 years with bail out after bail out-- all of which have led to this moment of spectacular meltdown. HIs view is pessimistic and is decried by some, lauded by others. Definitely a book to read and ponder."

The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means (Book)

1 recommendation

"Anything from George Soros is pretty much a worthy read. This book discusses the current credit crisis - its origins, implications, and outlooks for the future. A lot of people talk about the housing slump and credit crunch, but very few people understand it on a granular level. Since everyone is effected by this economic downtown, this book a great addition to anyone's library."

Origin of Wealth: Evolution, Complexity, and the Radical Remaking of Economics

1 recommendation

"Big, brainy, and dense. A good survey on the application of complexity to current economic thinking. The more I learn about "classical" econ, the more I wonder why anyone ever thought it was correct. True, I have the benefit of being able to look backwards w/hindsight, but it does certainly seem that econ is going to be radically shaken up. Since the dismal science rules so much of the world w..."

Essential Economics

"If you've ever picked up a copy of The Wall Street Journal, or any magazine with any finance section in it at all, you've probably come across some terms you don't know. Or, to put it more bluntly, you have no idea what you just read. Well, the clear-headed fellows at The Economist magazine created this handy little book to make you look smarter than you really are. It's an A-Z dictionary of ju..."

The Mind of the Market: Compassionate Apes, Competitive Humans, and Other Tales from Evolutionary Economics: Michael Shermer

1 recommendation

"Another one of Michael Shermer's brilliant books. This time he applies the forces of natural selection that drove evolution to shed some light on economics, and how the behaviors of complex social groups have influenced the marketplace. Rather than saying "all greed is bad", Shermer shows that there's an acceptable level of greed that can actually benefit the community... and he brings in ev..."

Buy Incredible Crisis - Used - Playstation

1 recommendation

"A bizarre little game. Probably won't be your favorite if what you like are the more mainstream, shoot-em-up games. This is actually a series of mini-games as you play as various members of a Japanese family having a very... odd... day. It's not the typical American best-seller, but it had me laughing, and I LOVE the soundtrack."

"Kevin Kelly, a founding editor of Wired, wrote this seminal book 11 years ago and it still remains one of the most forward-looking and world-altering books I have ever read. Kelly brilliantly explains the then leading edge thinking behind complexity science and applied adaptive systems theory using references to Borges, chameleons caught between mirrors, and group intelligence. The core..."
