Graham is the king of Value investing.
But value investing is a bet on a certain set of market conditions. 'Value' has been under-performing the market for the past 50 years.
Also, the rules it outlines are outdated, he updated them in "Benjamin Graham's Last Will". Though even these updated rules are way out of date.

Graham always talks about the 'long run' (e.g. >>18435592) but it would could have been someone's entire career from the 70s to now. The long run is too far away.

Graham's "Securities Analysis" is a good book for people wanting an econ/fin education. (as opposed to Intelligent Investor, which is a pop-fin book) Though it too is outdated.

A lot of the books are titled 'intermediate' because they are bachelor level.
I used these books for revision a few years after graduating.
I learned that my university is an absolute joke.
These books are farm more detailed in their analysis than what my uni discussed.

There is quite a bit of overlap between the contents in the into and intermediate econometric books. But the stuff which is exclusively in the econometric books was basically entirely absent from my degree.

The mathematical finance books are quant-type material but they only cover a relatively small slice of the material a quant would learn at uni.

Rent and usury was taboo in Christian society around the Middle Ages and since any other trade was pretty much illegal for Jews to practice, their only option was to enter finance where the Christians actually had use of them. Fast forward and many pogroms and a genocide later, the Jews now sit at the crest of society with all of their assets and privileges and to be honest, it's you who brought them there.

Anglosaxon protestants and the Chinese are probably more jewish than Jews themselves, though, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

This is a good read but you should stop after this one. All his books are a prelude to make you buy his next on. His suggestions are vague and don’t provide a clear path. I found at the most only one helpful point in each book I read. Start with Dave Ramsey first and then read kiyosaki

Going to waste my time replying to this guy because he deserves the (You)s. Money-related books will NOT teach you anything about making money. This is the biggest trap that the "I wanna be a millionaire :)" people tend to fall into right after paying thousands for a course which is even worse.

What teaches you to make money is the understanding of the world, the establishment of a central set of knowledge that adapts to both booms and crises and makes them profitable. That book specifically breaks down the administrative aspect of humanity which is probably the most important 101 into our world.

Here's a good video related to it as well which, again, is a must for /biz/ and specifically now that the oil crisis happened.

>The Communist Manifesto (Optional)
>Origin of the Family Private Property and the State by Engels
>Critique of the Gotha Program by Marx (Known for explaining the “phases” of communist society and how it would unfold
>Das Kapital (Very long and hard, but an obvious one, I’ll admit I haven’t read all of it)

Essential Marxist-Leninist Writings
>The State and Revolution by Lenin
>The foundations of Leninism by Stalin
>What is to be done? by Lenin
>Left Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder by Lenin
>Imperialism: The highest stage of capitalism by Lenin
>Dialectical and Historical Materialism by Stalin
>On the national question by Stalin

Probably more but I doubt you’ll ever read all of this. Just remember, the #1 point of communism is to abolish all private property (private ownership of the means of production)

These are the only books you need to read to understand the world around you. Thank me later, comrade!

I'm reading "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill right now. Is the "Collapse of Complex Societies" one you recommend next? I was going to go with "Influence: Science and Practice" by Robert Cialdini

Yes. Also Antifragile right after it. For both books there's countless of videos by the writers themselves as a demo of what the book's about which you should watch them first. The one I linked is a good start.

I read it in high school and it was a nice easy read. I would recommend it.
