What are some of the best audiobooks you guys have read/listened to in the business, politics or economics realm?
Here are a few of my personal favorites:
The Big Short
Explained the housing boom and bust in an easy to understand, accurate and yet extremely entertaining way. It felt like I was listening to an investigative novel, while learning a lot about finance.
The Snowball
The only authorized Warren Buffet biography. It's a massive audiobook - 36 hours. I played it at double speed. Totally worth every minute.
Basic Economics - Tom Sowell
A very good guide to basic economics. Very free market oriented.
If anyone has any recommendations that look at economics from a different perspective, I'd love to hear it as well. I know Sowell is slightly skewed towards the conservative side and I'd love to also hear how the democratic side views economics.
Decision Points, George Bush
I listened to the abridged version, read by Bush himself. Before listening to the audiobook, my main impression of Bush and his decisions came from news media. After reading what really went through his head as he made the various calls, I've actually gone from disliking him to having respect for him.
I listen to a lot (a lot) of audiobooks, those are just a few of my picks. What are yours?
