Modern Investing

Gambling in Disguise

By: David Schneider

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

What passes for investing today is, in fact, gambling: the notion of making money quickly and without effort...and that's just how Wall Street likes it. By charting the development of the modern financial system from its roots in the madness of the first bubbles and Roaring '80s, this book will cast a light on the chicanery of the big banks and hedge funds - and give you the information you need to make the right choices for your own investing future. Covering the basics of investment bubbles, various kinds of financial scams, and the peculiarities of our financial-political complex, Modern Investing is an indispensable guide to the predators of the jungle of investing.

Fantastic

Very informative and actually a very enjoyable listen. Everyone should read this before they start investing in the markets.
Also for any fellow entrepreneurs, this reconfirms what you already know in your gut.

Overslimplification

It feels like it's written for someone whos very scared, he overuses the word gambling like its a bad thing, couldn't finish it.
