“His greatest work, and a crucial book for our time.”—Le Monde.

The Little Book of Bull Moves, Updated and Expanded: How to Keep Your Portfolio Up When the Market Is Up, Down, or Sideways
In The Little Book of Bull Moves, popular author and economic advisor, Peter Schiff, takes a new look at America's bull markets of the 1920's, 1960's, and 1990's, and the bear markets that followed. Analyzing similarities and differences from both an economic and political perspective, Schiff discusses investment strategies that worked then and explains how those same conservative approaches to investing can be applied in today's market.
This book covers a lot of ground for business people expanding their formal training or needing a refresher in economics. While it is impossible to go in depth into every economic topic in one book, the authors identify the important subjects that affect businesses today. I found the Microeconomics of Product Markets especially useful for business decision makers to have the right context when evaluating choices.

Half are brief economic terms and historical and geographical definitions, and the other half are era overviews, issues, biographies, state economic histories, historical events, and company and industry profiles with limited bibliographies.
