Freakonomics is a real economics book, one can call it applied economics of freky situations. The world is Flat is an exceptional socio-economics book, which talks about the world and the various changes going on in different places, for those of us who spend our wages on investment a broader view of the various economic and social environments will properly help us racognize ternds before they are obvious to the layperson. The world is Flat wa written by The Late Milton Friedman a nobel prize winner in economics.
I have recommended this book to my closest freinds and associates.

UNDERCOVER ECONOMICS by Tim Harford also worth checking out,that what i am currently reading.I learnt it is in the class of freakconomics which i havent read but i learnt from the reviews is that it doesnt deal so much with practical things that happen around us daily.Unlike what i am reading which deal with various issues and subjects ranging from common price of coffie or capuccino,land matters,rent,globalwarming,trade, international trade,globalisation,poor and rich countries why some are poor and some rich,why develp countries will never develop,free trade, supermakets,stock market and so on......

Minor correction. The author of "The World is flat" is Thomas L Friedman not the famous Friedman u quoted.

Why? This is a very dated book although a classic.

My Mistake. My sincere apologies.

I just read an excellent book titled "The world is curved" by David Smick. It was published a few months ago. It is about the current financial tsunami. The best i have read so far. I recommend it.

Milton is an economist who won a Nobel Prize. Thomas is a Journalist who has won 3 Pulitzer prices for the new York times and is worth $25Million at the least, I would say they are both Famous.

I bought mine from amazon us. I have not seen it yet in book stores in Lagos. Perhaps in a month or two. Although i think Laterna? (not sure of spelling) on Oko Awo close VI accepts special book orders for books they dont have in stock.

I finished "the making of an American Capitalist" about a month ago. My Opinion is that there are too many books written about Warren Buffett. It is difficult not to feel that you are reading the same book twice.

That having been said. If I had not read any other Buffett Book. I would have been thrilled to have read the Making of an American Capitalist. Another good thing was the fact that I didn't have to buy a copy I already had one in one of my bookcases and I had not read it.
