Exceptionally good and maybe even important.
(Omaha, NE USA) October 6, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars

Kessler's theory of intellectual property/trade deficit/margin surplus really gets one to think. I'd be interested in what others (especially economists and academics) think about this theory.

Kessler's dead right about one thing: America leads the world in high margin IP businesses like software, pharma, biotech, chips and entertainment.

The book is similar in style to "Moneyball," "The New, New Thing" and "Liar's Poker" by Michael Lewis but I think more lasting in significance.

"Moneyball" is in a class by itself on many different levels and I don't think "Running Money" will outsell it.

As a Level 3 Communications, Inc. shareholder I, however, must strongly disagree with his "theory" of the target price-name.

Kessler even proves his own theory. His first book "Wall Street Meat" isn't nearly as good as "Running Money." I guess the intellectual property of an experienced editor added value.

6.	The End of Industrialization?
	(Winnemucca, NV) September 30, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars
	An easy way to get a lesson in world economics. The trouble is that I'm not so sure the lesson is correct. For instance, we import a laptop computer that's made in the far east. The production of that computer... read full review
