Collins, 2000. Very Good. Get ready, investors: the graying of America, the resurgence of Japan, glob al warming, and six other major trends will jar the world's stock markets i n the next century. "Because the changing world continually buffets the mar kets, we cannot blindly throw money into stocks, into mutual funds, or into a bank account," warns leading economist Todd G. Buchholz in Market Shock. Instead, investors must be prepared to capitalize on opportunities as they unfold, says Buchholz, also the author of the bestseller New Ideas from De ad Economists. For instance, with the aging of baby boomers, savvy investor s should begin moving into health-care and pharmaceutical stocks. And with the prospect of global warming, investors should consider insurance compani es that are avoiding coverage of homes in low-lying coastal regions. The ot her six economic and social trends: a boom in minority populations; the bio technology and information revolutions; China's growing importance in the g lobal economy; a possible jump in crime; the potential failure of European unity; and the rising fees and slumping performance of mutual funds. Buchholz begins each chapter with a futuristic gloom-and-doom scenario and a fictional news flash. Without naming particular companies, he then describes the sorts of investments likely to flourish during those events. Market Shock can help people sidestep some investing minefields and possibly profit from some major trends that could transform the world's economies. --Dan Ring--This text refers to the., Collins, 2000, 3, UsedVeryGood., 0<

The extensively revised and updated edition of Steven Landsburg's hugely popular book.Steven E. Landsburg is well known for revealing the laws of economics that underlie our everyday experience and illuminate the entire range of human behavior. When cars are made safer, drivers become more reckless and accident rates go up. When a supply interruption causes gas prices to skyrocket, journalists point to the "obvious" exercise of monopoly power. Economists see just the opposite: If oil companies had monopoly power, prices would have been higher all along.First published in 1993, "The Armchair Economist" attracted a large and devoted following. Now, almost twenty years later, this new edition includes contemporary applications of the eternal ideas of economic theory, firmly placing the book's emphasis on today's concerns, including political strategies, interest rates, government deficits, Internet scams, the local foods movement, and the prices of everything from gasoline to college tuition. Several chapters have been rewritten from scratch to incorporate new material and new explanations of eternal ideas. Throughout, the basic principles of economics continue to surprise, delight, and edify. Media > Book<

Witty economists are about as easy to find as anorexic mezzo-sopranos, natty mujahedeen, and cheerful Philadelphians. But Steven E. Landsburg...is one economist who fits the bill. In a wide-ranging, easily digested, unbelievably contrarian survey of everything from why popcorn at movie houses costs so much to why recycling may actually reduce the number of trees on the planet, the University of Rochester professor valiantly turns the discussion of vexing economic questions into an activity that ordinary people might enjoy. -- Joe Queenan, "The Wall Street Journal" "The Armchair Economist" is a wonderful little book, written by someone for whom English is a first (and beloved) language, and it contains not a single graph or equation...Landsburg presents fascinating concepts in a form easily accessible to noneconomists. -- Erik M. Jensen, "The Cleveland Plain Dealer" ...enormous fun from its opening page...Landsburg has done something extraordinary: He has expounded basic economic principles with wit and verve. -- Dan Seligman, "Fortune" Bücher > Fremdsprachige Bücher > Englische Bücher 22.2 cm x 14.1 cm x 2.5 cm mm , Simon & Schuster N.Y., Taschenbuch, Simon & Schuster N.Y.<
