I read some in the late 1980s when I thought something was going wrong with the economy. It seemed very clear to me then, so I borrowed books from the library on this.

I hope everyone will read these books. One of them was described Sell 'Em Ben. It was very interesting.

This is not one of the books I read, but it might prove interesting. I can't recommend it because I haven't read it, but you will get the idea from the ad.
