Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell is mandatory. Make sure you understand exactly why socialism is wrong.
Ryan Foster
basically the further you research economics the more you realize literally everything is a ponzi scheme and you should just be the first to buy into anything and everything that looks like other people may buy it
Chase Robinson
well i dind't like meditations that much honestly
there are good passages but generally it's quite repetitive
Jacob Evans
All of St Paul's Epistles, especially the first letter to the Corrinthians and Galatians.

After you finish those understandings you will have to ask yourself how it took so long for those teachings to percolate to you and you will find the key to solving the conundrum of our time.
Leo Myers
can't disagree there. aurelius never wrote it with the intent to publish, so i think a lot of it was reaffirming himself and his views. it stuck with me, though, and was one of the few books that translated into motivation for me outside of it.
Thomas Ward
read the mindfulness and happier books, both were good. i'm actually currently reading the power of now.
you might really like awareness by anthony de mello
Jose Baker
any other good books on economics to recommend?

Holy shit you didn't understand fucking anything at all. I fear for those who depend on you financially
Carter Hernandez
Not an argument. The ones who make the most money in any investment buy in when no one thinks its valuable, and sells when people find that 'thing' to be valuable, and the only way in a market hat happens if it more and more people buy
and I'm not saying there's anything inherently wrong with that, its just the way it is
prove me wrong

Cameron Collins
thanks for proving me right. Its no mistake Warren Buffet is called "the idiot that will buy anything". You need to break all constructs you have in your mind revolving around economics and understand what money actually is, and thats a representation of value from other people. A man can only be wealthy if there's a government or construct that protects ownership and if other's desire said ownerships.

Could Veeky Forums elaborate a bit? I doubt anyone will buy a book based on just the title and the author.
Bearing in mind that we're all speculating on highly volatile assets that hardly anyone outside of our special autistic clique understands I'm reading books about the irrationality of man. With that in mind...
Predictably Irrational - Good book highlighting mans most irrational views and how easily influenced 'rational' man is by psychological factors. More along the lines of a 'light' psychological textbook, but covers some behavioural economics and has a great final chapter on the subprime mortgage crisis.
Thinking Fast and Slow - System 1 and 2. 'Econ' and 'Human'. Remembering Self and Experiencing Self. Still psychology, but introduces some intermediate economic concepts and covers behavioural economics rather well. Really activates those almonds. One thing it does help you do is recognise irrationality and suppress it much more effectively, along with recognising the hallmarks of irrationality and potentially profiting off of it.
Against All Odds - The history of probability. I must admit, I only started reading this book recently, but so far it's proving to be a good read. Helps you better understand the development of probability/risk (and therefore modern financial vehicles) and makes clear many well-known concepts many statisticians come across.
Devil Take the Hindmost (A History of Financial Speculation) - A personal favourite, this proves that regardless of technology, culture or any other factor possible, speculation always finds a way. Where there is opportunity to make ridiculous sums of money there will always be those that push these limits to the extreme and reap extreme profits. Very interesting to learn that the activities we engage on here on Veeky Forums are nothing new in the world of finance, and are in fact rather tame compared to the behemoth schemes of past centuries.
Owen Peterson
Love this book. The black swan by Taleb is also great.
Zachary Perry
Thinking fast and slow is jewish bullshit. check who wrote it.
William Torres
Great book
Bentley Barnes
Yeah I'm well aware that kahnemann and tversky are both kikes, but that doesn't discredit their work.
William Wood
Anything by Nassim Taleb.
Isaac Cox
Guess I'll have to check out Devil Take the Hindmost since I read all your other suggestions. I really enjoyed Thinking Fast and Slow. Against All Odds worked as a history lesson for probability/risk while the others made you question how you and others process information. All these behavioral economics books have numbed my emotions but probably for my benefit.

Devil Take the Hindmost by Edward Chancellor is great, I'm glad you're considering it and I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as much as I did.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping for desu.

Welcome to the true redpill. It starts to get bad when you start blurring the line between social and market transactions. ngl tho it's great for maintaining a logical frame of mind when dealing with money, especially its preservation and acquisition

Decent, but why so much Gary Vee if you dont do affiliate marketing or something? I hope its serving you well either way but unless you're actually building an online brand its useless to you.

I feel tempted but I already have a pessimistic outlook and heard this book is basically a how to for sociopaths.
Worth a go?
Isaac Cox
It's ok, mostly real life power plays are more subtle. The rules of work is better imo and the more applicable way to advance in career, still sociopathic to some extent.
Cooper Brown
Also I feel like meditations was some cuck shit

my question is this if the real value of amazon was 600000 per share but people were only willing to pay 1000 per share because they saw dick pills as more valuable whats to stop amazons shares from staying at 1000?
If CNBC stopped covering amazon if people didnt use amazon everyday but it still provided decent value how would that value ever translate. Pro tip it wouldnt.
Lucas Perry
I think you should reread meditations because what you took away from it is borked
Ethan Anderson
Its pretty sociopathic, unfortunately you will come to realize that capitalism is sociopathic. Take for instance rule #2: "e wary of friends - they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them. "
Christopher Torres
Aldous Huxley, The Perennial Philosophy
Tyler Nelson
Now I'm torn. I'm looking for something more applicable and less philosophical and honestly I'm not an edgelord expecting to be the wolf of wall street or a crimelord. The only thing is, are both books focused on business? Laws of Power sounds like it's for life in general, although I'm a little hesitant to read relationship advice from Patrick Bateman.

This is also good read, I always considered it a meme book but it gives very good insight into the methods of Chinese market manipulators
