Though their experiences and styles vary—Buffett is the canny stock market investor; Soros is the reader of shifting global tides in trade and currencies; and Volcker is the regulator and governor, sheriff and clean-up crew—they have very much in common.<P>All three men have more than fifty years of deep involvement in markets. All are skeptical of Wall Street frenzies. They believe that markets tend to be right, but usually only over the medium term. They have seen too many cycles of herd-driven, emotion-riding booms and busts to make their views hostage to the sweeping and simplistic assumptions of “efficient-markets” models.<P>With the benefit of his own deep understanding of markets and finance, Morris brilliantly analyzes the records of these men, distilling their wisdom and experience—and argues for the importance of consistent values in navigating the treacherous terrain of today’s globalized world.</DIV> 6556523 22 6 2009 The Sages: Warren Buffett, George Soros, Paul Volcker, and the Maelstrom of Markets total:3|5:1|4:0|3:0|2:1|1:1| 3 8 11 0 5 0 false false Sat Oct 24 14:03:16 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 14:03:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 17:10:12 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 17:10:12 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Mon Sep 21 05:57:32 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 05:57:32 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Oct 03 11:57:22 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 08:59:58 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 11:57:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 15 13:06:06 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 13:06:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 14 15:17:25 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 15:17:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 10 11:59:02 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 11:59:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 08 15:11:27 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 15:11:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 23 17:07:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 17:07:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 17:58:14 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 17:58:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 15 18:32:01 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 18:32:01 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6369043
