Story
It is commonly believed that the Great Depression that began in 1929 resulted from a confluence of events beyond any one person's or government's control. In fact, as Liaquat Ahamed reveals, it was the decisions made by a small number of central bankers that were the primary cause of the economic meltdown, the effects of which set the stage for World War II and reverberated for decades.

Story
Spread through the public in the form of popular stories, ideas can go viral and move markets - whether it's the belief that tech stocks can only go up or that housing prices never fall. Whether true or false, stories like these - transmitted by word of mouth, by the news media, and increasingly by social media - drive the economy by driving our decisions about how and where to invest, how much to spend and save, and more. But despite the obvious importance of such stories, most economists have paid little attention to them. Narrative Economics sets out to change that.

Story
The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish.

A masterful account of today's money culture, showing how the underpricing of risk leads to catastrophe. With his trademark humor and brilliant anecdotes, Michael Lewis paints the mood and market factors leading up to each event, weaves contemporary accounts to show what people thought was happening at the time, and then, with the luxury of hindsight, analyzes what actually happened and what we should have learned from experience.

Story
A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world.

So You Want to Start a Hedge Fund provides critical lessons and thoughtful insights to those trying to decipher the industry, as well as those seeking to invest in the next generation of high performers. This audiobook foregoes the sensational, headline-grabbing stories about the few billionaire hedge fund managers to reach the top of the field. Instead, it focuses on the much more common travails of start-ups and small investment firms. The successes and failures of a talented group of competitive managers show what it takes for managers and allocators to succeed.

Story
In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner.

In the constantly evolving world of finance, a solid technical foundation is an essential tool for success. Until the welcomed arrival of authors Josh Rosenbaum and Josh Pearl, no one had taken the time to properly codify the lifeblood of the corporate financier's work - namely, valuation, through all of the essential lenses of an investment banker. With the release of Investment Banking, Third Edition, Rosenbaum and Pearl once again have created the definitive guide that they wish had existed when they were trying to break into Wall Street.

Valiant effort but lacking analytic horsepower...
Mallaby's effort should be commended for attempting to serve as a hedge fund historian chronicling the last half century of activity in this niche of the financial world. However, the style of his writing is very encyclopedic and not very analytical. You get a trade by trade , blow by blow description of the day in the life of well known cast of characters in the hedge fund world but I was yearning for more color and "so what's" about the industry and implications on our economy and society at large. Most of what I read, I had already learned from other books or articles written on the topic to date. We finally get the author's consensus at the end of the book that hedge funds should be left alone from the regulators since their relative size and ability to absorb their own risk sequestered from the main street investor and shareholder (i.e., no need for tax payer bailouts) makes them a model for the larger too big to fail wards of the state banks of today. This is a powerful point that could have been better integrated throughout the book. Compared to the colorful Michael Lewis or the deeply analytical Niall Ferguson, this book was hardly a page turner and I had to force myself to push on to get to the "so whats". There are much better books on this topic out already and there will more to come I am sure as one of the most spectacularly disastrous periods of hubris, greed and poor judgment in our financial and economic history unfolds.

This book tells all in just a few hours!
I worked for an asset allocator for 3.5 years. Over that 3.5 years I learned an enormous amount of information about the hedge fund industry. Now, I listen to this book and it sums up nearly 85% of that information in just a few short hours. The remaining 15% can only come from experience itself. This is a great listen, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Better than Market Wizards
Great writing and storytelling, its like market wizards but for funds. Much better insight into Soros than reading Soros' own material.
anyone with ambitions of starting a fund at some point should read this.

A Chronological History of Hedgefunds
For one who has traded stocks and options this was very informative. Large volume of money is required to trade at the Hedge fund levels and not much text is covered on ascertaining large volume of capital to invest. The psychology and algorithms of hedge fund trading is covered at a high level. The volume of money made for those that were successful is huge, more than corporations in some cases. A most interesting book.

Such an excellent book. Communicates complicated hedge fund strategies in a relatable and simple way and describes the personalities and motivations of the managers better than most books I know. The narrator is also excellent.

Narrator good, has that wealth voice.
This book will make you hate any schooling. It will make you look at people who you grew up with and say you where lied to and you spread that lie.
Makes you think even if you do 2% of what these guys did you could help your family and change your life.
