Книга: Whipsawed: How Greed and Fear Shred Finances and Futures

'Happy the man who has learned the cause of things and has put under his feet all fear, inexorable fate, and the noisy strife of the hell of greed.' -Virgil (70 B.C.-19.B.C.) The greatest threats to your finances and your future lie within, not without. The damage that can be caused by outside sources, such as natural disasters, unethical behavior, or human error, pale in comparison to the damage that can be caused by our own greed and fear. WHIPSAWED takes an insightful look at these two most basic of human emotions. It looks at the causes of each and the damages each of these emotions cause. In addition, WHIPSAWED looks at how these two emotions can team up to punish twice those who fail to keep them under control. Most important, WHIPSAWED offers methods to keep these emotions from undermining our best attempts to build a stable financial future.
