  Easy Money - American Puritans...

  A sweeping history of the American invention of modern money. 
  Economists endlessly debate the nature of legal tender monetary systems—coins and bills issued by a government or other authority. Yet the origins of these currencies have received little attention. 
  Dror Goldberg tells the story of modern money in North America through the Massachusetts colony during the seventeenth century. As the young settlement transitioned to self-governance and its economy grew, the need to formalize a smooth exchange emerged. Printing local money followed. 
  Easy Money illustrates how colonists invented contemporary currency by shifting its foundation from intrinsically valuable goods—such as silver—to the taxation of the state. Goldberg traces how this structure grew into a worldwide system in which, monetarily, we are all Massachusetts. Weaving economics, law, and American history, Easy Money is a new touchstone in the story of monetary systems.

  Templeton's Way with Money -...

  Sir Johns philosophy of investing, which is built around the  presumption that investors must have the courage and patience to  ride out economic and market cycles, remains highly relevant today.  In the aftermath of two of the most savage bear markets in living  memory, which twice within a decade have seen stock markets around  the world fall, peak to trough, by 50%, many investors remain  shell-shocked and disillusioned by their losses. Had they followed  a disciplined Templeton approach, we can show that they would not  have fared anything like as badly as many did. Nor, certainly,  would they have become so disheartened.   John Templeton, a perennial optimist produced his best  investment returns during and immediately after bear markets,  underlining that success in investment is just as much about  avoiding losses and preserving what you have gained, as it is about  picking winners. The authors believe it is important for investors  today to appreciate that the events of the past ten years,  including the great global financial crisis of 2008-09, reinforce  the importance of some fundamental truths about investment. One is  that there are always opportunities to make money, even when   no, particularly when ?] the outlook appears particularly  gloomy.
