Strategic Business Forecasting, Simon Ramo & Ronald Sugar

Don't you really wish you could forecast the future based on more than intuition and hope?

For all who would not abandon their enterprises to chance, and would really like to do a credible job of forecasting, Ramo and Sugar's book is good place to start. It is practical and grounded and it is easy to follow the logic of their methodology. The book is divided into two parts, the first describing the methodology and the second a mind stretching journey through a set of forecasts using the methodology.

A Splendid Exchange, William Bernstein

The subtitle describes the book succinctly: "How trade shaped the world." This 450 page history of trade reads like a novel and is riveting! Bernstein is a financial theorist and historian, a seriously thoughtful intellectual and a gifted story teller. He has managed to weave together the extraordinary story of global commerce from its prehistoric origins to the numerous controversies surrounding it today.

We are currently at a point in the evolution of trade where we don't think twice about biting into an orange grown on the other side of the world, as we listen to local music played on an MP3 player constructed of components made in 5 different countries. To get a perspective on the enormity of world trade, consider that in 2006 the world's countries exported $11.8 trillion in goods and services, and that world trade has nearly doubled in less than a decade.

The book is anything but a dry history text book, it is filled with many great stories, well told, that I will share with you as you gain a deeper insight into how trade shaped the world in the past and will shape the world in the future, whether we like it or not.

This is a masterful insight into the past that will help you really understand critical issues of the present day such as protectionism and globalization.
