Book Review

More Than You Know by Michael Mauboussin
A true eye-opener, More Than You Know shows how a multidisciplinary approach that pays close attention to process and the psychology of decision making offers the best chance for long-term financial results.


". . . a wonderfully thoughtful and insightful book on how to think about markets and investing . . . These short essays are at once sophisticated and accessible, intriguing and entertaining . . . ideal . . . for investment novices or sophisticates."

Book Review: The Post-American World

The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria
This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." So begins Fareed Zakaria's important new work on the era we are now entering. Following on the success of his best-selling The Future of Freedom, Zakaria describes with equal prescience a world in which the United States will no longer dominate the global economy, orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures. He sees the "rise of the rest"—the growth of countries like China, India, Brazil, Russia, and many others—as the great story of our time, and one that will reshape the world.
