When people understand you read a lot, you end up with many recommendations. These recommendations sometimes are generated by what I write about. With the exception of technology which I have been deeply involved with since the mid-1980s, my opinions on many matters are shaped by what I read.
I am interested in economics and how it relates to the stock market because of my interest in the growing economic inequality in this country. While I read content from many sources, I am probably most influenced by long reads. So, given some don’t understand my opinion about the general U.S. economy and the stock market even when I try to explain my understanding of several important issues, here are the books that have influenced me.
