Book Description

8 Aug 1995 Vintage
"This is a modern classic." —Paul A. Samuelson, First American Nobel Prize Winner in Economics

"The best book there is about the stock market and all that goes with it." —The New York Times Book Review

"Anyone whose orientation is toward where the action is, where the happenings happen, should buy a copy of The Money Game and read it with due diligence." —Book World

" 'Adam Smith' is a veteran observer and commentator on the events and people of Wall Street.... His thorough knowledge of financial affairs gives his observations a great degree of authenticity. But the joy of reading this book comes from his delightful sense of humor. He is a lively and ingeniously witty writer who never stoops to acerbity. None of the solemn, sacred cows of Wall Street escapes debunking." —Library Journal

Format:Paperback
This was the first book that I ever read about he financial markets, and I was immediately hooked. Psychology clearly rules the day, and Adam Smith's examples are remarkably funny. The excesses he identified in the 1960s seemed to have returned in only slightly updated form in the late 1990s. If you did not see the last big market top, you owe it to yourself to read this book. If you are an entrepreneur, you will love the part about being a public company. He says that this is like being your own country, because you can print your own money whenever you need more (by selling your stock to the public). And you know, he's right. All the Internet entrepreneurs seem to understand that point. CAVEAT EMPTOR. If you like this book as much as I did, perhaps it will help you identify a stimulating and rewarding career as it did for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars The times change but the stockmarket game goes on 16 April 1997
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Written in the late sixties the book reflects its times in the boardrooms and trader pits of Wallstreet. Condesending toward women, hostile to ethnics and gays the book shows a somewhat rough hewn side of the men in the grey flannel suites. The game of generating money from speculation, mass physiology buttressed by modern economic techniques and monatorist policies could be taken from todays headlines. A very entertaining and informative book both from a historical and investing perspective

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Not Really You, Mr Smith? 6 July 2011
By demola
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It's funny. It's dated. It's relevant. It's about you. It's about "They". It's full of stories and anecdotes and the low down on brokers, portfolio managers, analysts, accountants and quants (yes even in the 60s). The only bug bear was the small type.
