    Time to dust this one off! At the very least, it's LOTS of fun
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 18, 2016*

For many years, I've periodically peered out of my hovel and thought aloud, "maybe it's time to worry about inflation again." I pile through a book or two on inflation investment strategies, and again, the unease for the dollar's demise fades from view and memory. Well, it's that time again. Maybe THIS TIME will be that time, when it really happens. (Not that I have any panicked sense of it. The world keeps stumbling onto its face so much, it (unbelievably) makes our markets and currency and even politics look good. So far. Well, I take back the politics remark. But at least we have institutional barriers to even that insanity. It seems we can't incur enough stupid unpaid-for insane projects to look bad, next to the rest of the world, that is.)  Well, if it is possible for such a contemplation (the looming paper wave of inflation) to be pleasurably met by a book, this IS that book. The ability of this author repeatedly to swoop from complex ideas to simple and oh-so-readable explanations floors me. This is my candidate for guy I would most like to be a close friend of, and have plenty of conversations with. The imaginative scope is big too. Bear in mind, this book is copyrighted 1981. So how's about (in the midst of the quickest and clearest explanation of real estate finance, up to that time, I have ever seen) this little doozy (pg. 85):  "Could there be a real estate crash, as there was a stock market crash in 1929?" Dude! Wait 'till I show you 2008! But the real payoff is the way this discussion builds the ability to imagine and anticipate things like that, not the always-silly wish of a reader to have somebody call the top or bottom of anything at a particular time (or palm off one of the endless books predicting "DOW 30,000", looming end of the dollar, "for really REAL this time,") etc., etc. It is also fun to note that the book IS from 1981, and to compare the author's thinking with the rest of the story, that we know. Tings were about to turn, bigtime. This unfashionable book sells for almost pennies and will educate people more about finance than dozens of more recent, flashier, and less effective titles. I only regret it doesn't keep going .... !  It is the perfect bedside read.

    Required reading for any decade...
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2013*

I can't believe I never read this before; chanced upon a ragged original paperback and had to finish it even though it started falling apart before I was halfway through. I had to buy this copy to share.  I experienced but never really understood what happened in '73 (first oil crisis) - all I'd ever heard before was that there was an oil glut - 'Adam Smith' was in the middle of it and knew all the actors.  His account of the housing boom, written in '81, explains (foretold of?) what happened in '08.  Money ain't what we think it is.  BTW, I was one of those old-fashioned fools with a passbook savings account until the S&L debacle.

    Deja Vu all over again
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2009*

This is a great book.  Written in '80 (pub date 81) it analyzes the underlying economy that gave rise to the late 70's 'stagflation'.  It does not give a prescription for investing in such a period (which appears to be returning) but allows the astute reader to study the economic policies put in place in the 80's that "cured" the country.The author has a wonderful, positive voice that makes reading this economic text a pleasure.
