FINANCIAL, PERSONAL FINANCE AND INVESTING BOOKS

A VIENNESE WALTZ DOWN WALL STREET: AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS FOR INVESTORS
(LAISSEZ FAIRE BOOKS, 2013)

Austrian economist and investment analyst Mark Skousen argues that the behavior
of the stock market is more like a waltz, not a random walk.  Based on his 40
years experience on Wall Street, writing an award-winning newsletter (Forecasts
& Strategies), and teaching economics and finance at Columbia Business School,
his new work applies the basic concepts of the Austrian school of Mises, Hayek,
and Schumpeter to the exhilarating, volatile world of high finance. Find out all
the highlights here.

MAXIMS OF WALL STREET: A COMPILATION OF FINANCIAL ADAGES, ANCIENT PROVERBS, AND
WORLDLY WISDOM
(SKOUSEN PUBLISHING, INC, 2015)

For nearly 30 years, financial economist and investment writer Mark Skousen have
been collecting all the old wise adages, proverbs, and legends on Wall Street,
based on in-depth interviews with old timers, reading rare financial books, and
his own experiences in the financial markets. Maxims of Wall Street has become a
classic reference that you will read with delight for years to come, and an
ideal gift to investors, stockbrokers and money managers. Learn more about this
invaluable book here.

INVESTING IN ONE LESSON(REGNERY PUBLISHING, 2007)


“If you could identify one lesson of investing, what would it be?”

This question, repeatedly asked of Mark Skousen by everyday investors, intrigued
the stock market expert. Could he sum up his decades-long experience as an
investment advisor, professor, and writer in a single lesson? Was it possible
both to explain the cryptic workings of the stock market and also relate a
comprehensive investing strategy in just one book? This book represents the
definitive answer to that question. With Investing In One Lesson, Dr. Skousen
has compiled a primer that will put even the most baffled investor on the road
to success in the stock market. Mixing sober investment guidance with compelling
stories from Dr. Skousen’s years of exploration in the stock market jungle,
Investing In One Lesson is an engaging, indispensable guide for surviving and
thriving in the peculiar universe of Wall Street.
