Globalizing Capital: A History of the International Monetary System (Second Edition)
$27.95
All the reader reviews and editorial info I see on this page refer to the earlier edition (1996); this book, however, is a 2008 update. From Princeton's description: "This updated edition continues to document the effect of floating exchange rates and contains a new chapter on the Asian financial crisis, the advent of the euro, the future of the dollar, and related topics. Globalizing Capital shows how these and other recent developments can be put in perspective only once their political and historical contexts are understood."

$49.95
Just finished the book. Very good understanding of how the VC game is played. This book will help entrepreneurs formulate a targeted biz plan with a better chance of funding.


Well written and easy to understand...highly recommend!
