—Nicholas Nassim Taleb, author of the legendary investment classic, Fooled by Randomness, and the recent bestseller on probability, The Black Swan

"Learn about Fed bubbles and make Ben Bernanke unhappy: read this book."

—Dr. Mark Skousen, Professor of Economics and Editor, The Worldly Philosophers

—Steve Sjuggerud, Editor, True Wealth, one of the world′s most widely read investment letters
"Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets is one of the funniest and most entertaining books I have ever read. A classic for the student of the current period in history. If I had to name just one book investors should read, this is the one I would select."
