Hard to believe that reading a financial magazine written by journalists will increase your knowledge rather than an authority in the domain or a classic book on the subject.
- redis_mlc 6y agoThose are all good resources, but: 1) current publications mention familiar company names and lines of business (aka the Internet). 2) reading bite-sized nuggets of information in the Economist and financial sections is more attainable for some people. I doubt if most people on HN have read a book in the past year. Personally I no longer read the Economist regularly because I'm beyond the material they publish, and I have no interest in anything European. (The US basically left Europe in its dust after WW2 - half of the EU member states are "sick men.") But if you haven't read about finance for decades, it's as useful as anything else. The only important things to know about Europe now is that the CCP bought Greece's largest port, and now Greece has to vote with the CCP in the UN or other tribumals, and the economic migration from Africa has ruined the social welfare programs that US leftists admired so much.
