Paul Getty's secrets on making money and getting rich in this "excellent How To book from a $$$ and sense man" (Kirkus Reviews).There are plenty of books on making money by men who haven't made much. But if J. Paul Getty, who Fortune magazine called "the richest man in the world," doesn't know how, who does? Here the billionaire businessman discloses the secrets of his success--and provides a blueprint for those who want to follow in his footsteps. And he goes beyond the matter of making money to the question of what to do with it."Getty says it: 'You can be rich.'"--New York Herald Tribune "Aimed at the rising young business executive."--Albany Times-Union

    Paul is sure at any time to create a market following. Most of the tips that are hawked about the Street are based on the supposition that somebody-or-other of consequence is buying or selling certain stocks. I do not know of a single case where anyone has been able to make money consistently by following information of this character, even when the information comes to him first hand. -from "A Speculative Decision" In 1917, an insider at a Wall Street brokerage firm took a close look at his company's most active traders and analyzed their trades to glean the secrets of their success... and what he found is still applicable today. Writing pseudonymously, he here offers a wide range of sage advice about: . buying on the way down . determining trends . how a bull market starts . the correct use of stop orders . when and what to sell short . and more.

    The most abstruse topic becomes clear as he conveys the sense in ordinary language, without loss of meaning through oversimplification. Everyman’s Dictionary of Economics covers a wide range of economic thought and includes every relevant term that the average person might encounter in a written or other treatment of the subject. In addition to conveying a sense of how economic thought has evolved over the centuries, the Dictionary stimulates and challenges readers in its questioning of conventional wisdom about government intervention and manipulation of economies. It too has “stood the test of time”; nearly thirty years after the second edition and forty years after the first, this book still engages readers—economists and nonprofessionals alike. Everyman’s Dictionary of Economics, Volume 3 of The Collected Works of Arthur Seldon, is an indispensable reference for laypeople and for academics.The entire series includes:Volume 1: The Virtues of Capitalism (September 2004) Volume 2: The State Is Rolling Back (November 2004) Volume 3: Everyman's Dictionary of Economics (January 2005) Volume 4: Introducing Market Forces into "Public" Services (February 2005) Volume 5: Government Failure and Over-Government (May 2005) Volume 6: The Welfare State: Pensions, Health, and Education (October 2005) Volume 7: The IEA, the LSE, and the Influence of Ideas (December 2005)
