Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Since its founding in 1892, GE has been more than just a corporation. For generations, it was job security, a solidly safe investment, and an elite business education for top managers.

And after two decades of leadership under legendary CEO Jack Welch, GE entered the twenty-first century as America's most valuable corporation.

Story
Any ambitious proposal - ranging from fixing crumbling infrastructure to Medicare for all or preventing the coming climate apocalypse - inevitably sparks questions: how can we afford it? How can we pay for it? Stephanie Kelton points out how misguided those questions really are by using the bold ideas of modern monetary theory (MMT), a fundamentally different approach to using our resources to maximise our potential as a society.

Uncertainty pervades the big decisions we all make in our lives. How much should we pay into our pensions each month? Should we take regular exercise? Expand the business? Change our strategy? Enter a trade agreement? Take an expensive holiday? We do not know what the future will hold. But we must make decisions anyway. So we crave certainties which cannot exist and invent knowledge we cannot have.

Thirty-five-year-old Mohammed bin Salman's sudden rise stunned the world. Political and business leaders flew out to meet with the crown prince and came away convinced that his desire to reform the kingdom was sincere. He spoke passionately about bringing women into the workforce and toning down Saudi Arabia's restrictive Islamic law. He lifted the ban on women driving and explored investments in Silicon Valley. But 'MBS' began to betray an erratic interior beneath the polish laid on by scores of consultants and public relations experts like McKinsey & Company.

At the dawn of World War I, a young academic named John Maynard Keynes hastily folded his long legs into the sidecar of his brother-in-law’s motorcycle for an odd, frantic journey that would change the course of history. Swept away from his placid home at Cambridge University by the currents of the conflict, Keynes found himself thrust into the halls of European treasuries to arrange emergency loans and packed off to America to negotiate the terms of economic combat.

- Outlines investments and strategies for the rocky road ahead
- Reveals how hedge fund managers are seeking a new paradigm of risk management and profit-making opportunities in the post-crisis world

Interesting hands-on takes on the crisis
Always interesting to listen to traders and hedge fund managers talk about the crisis. You get to see the quirks of the guys behind the moves academics talk about: their egos, their hunches, their scientific approach (or lack thereof). That said, what's with the different accents??

Great book, but very dense.
I enjoyed this a lot. It's packed with insights, ideas and perspectives that will provide tons of thought-fodder for finance/economics geek. The interviewees are very varied in their fields and approaches to markets, and each brings their own interesting perspective on the markets and global economy. Definitely the kind of book that merits repeated reading. The only problem with it is that it is *very* jargon-heavy. I'm pretty nerdy about this subject and even I was regularly having to consult my search engine to help me understand some of the terminology used. Narrator is fine.
