Mobs, messiahs, and markets: surviving the public spectacle in finance and politics
Bonner, William
Rajiva, Lila
Bill Bonner has long been an observer of the world, focusing primarily on economics and also on the increasingly negative behaviors of societies around theglobe. In this book, he weaves a journey through economic analysis, history, politics and metaphysics. Bonner goes back in time to the Crusades and then tothe present to offer a look at how moral crusades and military crusades impact life. Bonner contrasts the Salem witch hunt, for example, to modern day war on drugs, war on poverty and today's war on terror. Perhaps most controversialwill be Bonner's insights into the failures of the Federal Reserve under AlanGreenspan along with the disappointments of high tech and globalization. Bonner will offer some investing principles for avoiding public spectacles and doing he opposite of the crowd.
