"This was good. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't in the middle of law school. I had trouble devoting as much attention to it as I would have liked. Nevertheless, I felt that I learned a decent amount from it. I guess I was disappointed that the connections weren't made between the theories being explained and the effect on modern finance."
"A good -- if ideologically uncritical -- history of the theories and theoreticians of modern finance, including the influence of the Chicago school. This is a book written by someone who believes(d?) in the system, so one shouldn't expect questions of human impact or ideology. It's all about the numbers. But if you ever wanted to understand the previous century on Wall Street (up to the early 90s) from that perspective, this isn't a bad place to start. I'm curious how the current economic situation would be described/perceived by the author (the updated volume was released in 2007, so still wouldn't cover everything that has happened since.)"
