Brilliant, stupid, and 15% off
Article Abstract:
There are a number of books that investors could choose for Christmas 1999, and they include Axel Madsen's 'The Deal Maker', which details the career of General Motors' founder, William C. Durant. This story reminds investors that managers can perform exceptionally well, and then fall victim to stupidity. Edward Chancellor's 'Devil Take the Hindmost' gives an account of financial bubbles through history, while Nicholas Dunbar's 'Inventing Money' gives a good account of the problems faced by Long Term Capital Management, and how they arose.
