Summary: Worst book ever Content: We're reading this in my Business in World History class. The book makes me want to stab my eyes out and jump off of a sky scraper. Yay! :) ... → Click here to read more reviews.

72.		Adam Smith: The Theory of Moral Sentiments (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy) by David S. Landes Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press	List Price: $85.00 Our Price: $71.25 You Save: $ 13.75 (16%) Prices subject to change
Summary: smith's other book Content: Oh no, no. The Wealth of Nations didn't come out of the blue. Adam Smith would probably be famous today for his 'other' book even if he had not written his second. People do not understand the concept of self-interest well. They would if they ... → Click here to read more reviews.

73.		The Cult of Statistical Significance: How the Standard Error Costs Us Jobs, Justice, and Lives (Economics, Cognition, and Society) by Deirdre Nansen McCloskey Manufacturer: University of Michigan Press	List Price: $24.95 Our Price: $14.42 You Save: $ 10.53 (42%) Prices subject to change
Summary: Move along, nothing new here. Content: This is a rather poorly written and overwrought summary of how statistical significance testing is misused in many areas of science. The authors are economists, not statisticians, and have a idiosyncratic understanding of the subject matter, regularly confusing ... → Click here to read more reviews.

74.		Game Theory: Analysis of Conflict by Roger B. Myerson Manufacturer: Harvard University Press	List Price: $33.50 Our Price: $28.99 You Save: $ 4.51 (13%) Prices subject to change
Summary: No Introduction but Excellent Stuff Content: Even though Myerson asserts that this book is intended to be "a general introduction to game theory" in Preface, it is difficult to understand for beginners who have not mathematics knowledge in the level of upper class. In this point, the volume is different ... → Click here to read more reviews.

75.		SOCIALISM (Lib Works Ludwig Von Mises PB) by LUDWIG VON MISES Manufacturer: Liberty Fund Inc.	List Price: $12.00 Our Price: $9.85 You Save: $ 2.15 (18%) Prices subject to change
Summary: A must read for students of economics AND sociology! Content: Mises' Socialism is, perhaps, the most sociologically and economically "sound" theoretical attack on socialism to date.

76.		Capital Ideas Evolving by Peter L. Bernstein Manufacturer: Wiley	List Price: $29.95 Our Price: $15.53 You Save: $ 14.42 (48%) Prices subject to change
Summary: The World Is Going Quant Content: I have a lot of respect for finance professors. To quote a felicitous expression, they perform "mathematics in flesh and blood". They are the surgeons of the modern economy, cutting through inefficiencies and making sure the blood of capital flows into the ... → Click here to read more reviews.

77.		Pioneering Portfolio Management: An Unconventional Approach to Institutional Investment by David F. Swensen Manufacturer: Free Press	List Price: $35.00 Our Price: $10.48 You Save: $ 24.52 (70%) Prices subject to change
Summary: Insightful and structured review of institutional money management Content: David Swensen has written a commendable book. Perhaps most commendable is his focus on ethical money management with a focus on fiduciary responsibility to the investor--a Birkshirean theme worth reiterating over and over. The principal value ... → Click here to read more reviews.

Summary: Foundation for Margaret Thatcher's policies Content: There is a great story of Margaret Thatcher throwing this book down on the table at an economic policy meeting and saying "This is what we believe". Great chapters on how democracy can't exist with coercion; how the "idle rich", though oft bally-hooed are ... → Click here to read more reviews.

Summary: Excellent synopsis of wealth of nations Content: The first three "books" (the term for "chapters" in Smith's age) of the Wealth of Nations are the most important of the book. The introductory essay by the Smithologist Skinner also provides great insight into the book per se, Adam Smith and how Wealth of ... → Click here to read more reviews.

Summary: Diversity Makes a Difference Content: In his latest book, "The Difference", Scott Page does a magnificent job of tackling the issue of whether or not there are any real benefits to having a diverse and inclusive learning or workplace environment; or is it all about political correctness.
