Brian Kettell, "Economics for Financial Markets (Quantitative Finance)"

Successful trading, speculating or simply making informed decisions about financial markets means it is essential to have a firm grasp of economics. Financial market behaviour revolves around economic concepts, however the majority of economic textbooks do not tell the full story.

To fully understand the behaviour of financial markets it is essential to have a model that enables new information to be absorbed and analysed with some predictive implications. That model is provided by the business cycle.

The author shows traders, investment managers, risk managers and finance professionals how to distil the flow of information and show what needs to be concentrated on, covering topics such as:

* Why are financial markets subject to economic fashions?
* How has the New Economy changed financial market behaviour?
* Does the creation of the euro fundamentally change the behaviour of the currency markets?

Shows how to distil the vast amount of information in financial markets and identify what is important
Demonstrates how the "New Economy" had changed financial market behaviour
Explains how to follow the behaviour of central banks

The Age of Turbulence - Adventures in a New World
In the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, in his fourteenth year as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan took part in a very quiet collective effort to ensure that America didn't experience an economic meltdown, taking the rest of the world with it. There was good reason to fear the worst: the stock market crash of October 1987, his first major crisis as Federal Reserve Chairman, coming just weeks after he assumed control, had come much closer than is even today generally known to freezing the financial system and triggering a genuine financial panic. But the most remarkable thing that happened to the economy after 9/11 was...nothing. What in an earlier day would have meant a crippling shock to the system was absorbed astonishingly quickly.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!

Radical thinkers are in a class by themselves, and thankfully, we can join them. This author invites all of us to learn and embrace logical ways to earn, invest, and save money over and above anything we learned through traditional education.
The knowledge unfolds in a way that's not overwhelming or pretentious, shifting your mind by 360 degrees to realize your potential for building wealth outside of working a traditional job. It's not a hard sell, it simply makes sense. What I also appreciated are insights on showing children, through word and deed, how to accomplish the same in their lifetime.
You may not be ready to accept everything stated in this book, and that's okay. It often takes time to change years of the "go to school, get a job" mentality.
It's easy to identify with statements the author shares regarding other people's negative opinions about wealth and investing. There's a healthy dose of examples sprinkled throughout the book as well as counterpoints that persuade you to continue moving forward toward your goal of financial freedom.
Once I began reading Rich Dad, Poor, Dad, it was difficult for me to put this book down. Like me, I believe that if you read it once, you'll read it again as a blueprint for your own financial success.
