John Maynard Keynes
The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money

Keynes profoundly influenced the New Deal and created the basis for classic economic theory. I can think of no single book that has so changed the conception held by economists as to the working of the capitalist system (Robert L. Heilbroner). Index.

Sidney Homer, Richard Eugene Sylla
A History of Interest Rates
by Rutgers Univ Pr (Hardcover)

A History of Interest Rates presents a very readable account of interest rate trends and lending practices over four millennia of economic history. Despite the paucity of data prior to the Industrial Revolution, authors Homer and Sylla provide a highly detailed analysis of money markets and borrowing practices in major economies. Underlying the analysis is their assertion that "the free market long-term rates of interest for any industrial nation, properly charted, provide a sort of fever chart of the economic and political health of that nation." Given the enormous volatility of rates in the 20th century, this implies we're living in age of political and economic excesses that are reflected in massive interest rate swings. Gain more insight into this assertion by ordering a copy of this book today.

Interest Rate Models
by Springer (Hardcover)

Interest Rate Models Theory and Practice In implementing mathematical models for pricing interest rate derivatives one has to address a number of practical issues such as the choice of a satisfactory model, the calibration to market data, the implementation of efficient routines, and so on. This book aims both at explaining rigorously how models work in theory and at suggesting how to implement them for concrete pricing. This is an area that is rarely covered by books on mathematical finance. The book is meant both to help quantitative analysts and advanced traders price and hedge with a sound theoretical apparatus, and to encourage academics to develop a feeling for the practical problems in the interest rate market that can be solved with the use of relatively advanced tools of mathematics and stochastic calculus in particular. Advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and researchers should benefit from seeing how mathematics can be used in concrete financial problems.

The Toyota Leaders: An Executive Guide
by Vertical (Hardcover) (Release Date: 2008-12-16)

Six decades ago, Toyota was an embarrassment. Today, they are the auto- industry leader. The Toyota Leaders: An Executive Guide tells how they did it, and in such a way that allows readers to apply the lessons. Discover how Toyota is more than just a series of good business moves, but a culture first put into place by its founders and built on through the years. Not a corporate history, Sato uses Toyota's past to contextualize his discussion as he focuses on the company's unique business strategies. - Find out why an innovative vehicle like the hybrid Prius came from Toyota and not the more technologically - advanced Honda. - Learn how General Motors supplied invaluable business know-how to then-provincial Toyota in the early eighties. - Discover why Toyota thinks giving back to Japan and the world is a smart idea. - Learn how a national healthcare system is a good thing for business. This is the Toyota book for entrepreneurs and executives in all industries, not just manufacturing.

The third edition of The Theory of Interest is significantly revised and expanded from previous editions. The text covers the basic mathematical theory of interest as traditionally developed. The book is a thorough treatment of the mathematical theory and practical applications of compound interest, or mathematics of finance. The pedagogical approach of the second edition has been retained in the third edition. The textbook narrative emphasizes both the importance of conceptual understanding and the ability to apply the techniques to practical problems. The third edition has considerable updates that make this book relevant to students in this course area.
