review 1: "The Physics of Wall Street" is a fantastic introduction for someone who wants to understand the big board. James Owen Weatherall wrote this book not for the investor, but for the common Joe to understand how economic works. It does not go too much detail into stocks and bonds, but its a cheat sheet of the grand overview on the history of economics.I'm read my fair share on this topic and and studied in depth on how the market works, but the information that Weathrall present is easy to follow. There is a pdf companion to this book of figures and charts. As someone who likes numbers and concrete evidence, I just wish that there were more examples in the footnotes of this book.The subject is not too draining for anyone to follow. It's like reading about history in the past,... more this is a recommended starter read to build a prospective future.
review 2: For anyone that struggled w/the application of economic graphs and what it actually means "to me," this is the perfect antidote. Written by a fairly recent doctoral graduate, the author breaks down significant developments in understanding how financial markets behave in a step-by-step way that parallels good story telling. Good read for all experience levels as the personal paths of major players in current financial theory are also discussed. less
