books on bankers and their evil schemes
About the good thing about the financial crisis, is
that I no longer need to worry that I don't understand
what "fiscal derivatives" are for, now that these dumb
f*ck bankers have destroyed the economy.
However I have done a small amount of reading about the current credit
crunch.
About a month ago I read "The great crash 1929" by Galbraith. I have
to admit I didn't really get to much from the book, as to why the
crash in the 20s happened. It did make me laugh that at the time
people kept saying "the fundamentals of the economy were firm", as the
economy imploded.
My cousin gave me "does anything eat bankers" by Andy Zaltman.
This is book of amusing explanations of the current mess.
So I am now educated, but still poor.
I still have to read the book called "the tulip" by Anna Pavord. This book was about the speculation on tulips in the C18th.
