The Fearful Rise of Markets by John Authers
John Authers looks at how the financial world has taken shape over the last 50 years and answers key questions about how it has affect us. This book helps readers understand why everything went wrong at the same time and it will also help them understand investment strategies that may now start to work."This new book is a must-read for every investor...I'd urge anyone with any interest in investing to read it as soon as possible. It may well stop you losing your shirt in the next meltdown!" Cliff D'Arcy, The Motley Fool
"With two decades of experience in successfully interpreting financial markets, Authers has the curriculum vitae and the confidence to go where no other author has thus far been. His goal in this slender volume is to make understandable why financial markets failed, how investors should protect themselves and what national authorities should do to correct some of the problems. His mission is happily met...Anyone interested in financial markets would benefit from owning a copy." Financial Times, 5th June 2010
"This book is a must read for investors and for anyone who is interested in the causes of the financial crisis and in how future crises can be avoided. Authers has delivered a highly readable and informative work which goes a long way to explaining the institutionalisation of investment and how the rise and spread of financial markets over the past century have inflated and synchronised bubbles and led to many of the trends which caused the current financial crisis". Ben Collins, Global Financial Strategy, June 2010
"..helps you better understand how volatility is the central theme of price movement". Larry Connors, an excerpt from his Daily Battle Plan
"Well written in a nontechnical style,The Fearful Rise of Markets includes ample references. Authers divides the narrative into short, highly readable chapters, each containing both an abstract and a summary. The introduction contains a very useful timeline of important events.In short, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding how the financial markets came to play such an important role in our lives." Brendan O'Connell, CFA
"... does a marvelous job at giving us insight into the challenges facing international markets at the core... As an investment columnist and editor for the Financial Times, Authers has spent the last 20 years covering the industry around the world. One of his greatest skills is to look beyond economics or finance for answers. Instead, Authers examines the behaviors that investors exhibit and the way such behavior has changed everything we know about the market. Fortunately for the reader, Authers takes the extra time to make a discussion of these complex issues readable for the layman. For this reason, the reader is likely to find this work an informed yet accessible look at the challenges facing our markets today. "
