Book Description
The responses to questions such as ‘What is the explanation for changes in the unemployment rate?’ frequently involve the presentation of a mathematical relationship, a function that relates one set of variables to another set of variables. It should become apparent that as one’s understanding of functions, relationships, and variables becomes richer and more detailed, one’s ability to provide explanations for economic phenomena becomes stronger and more sophisticated. The author believes that a student’s intuition should be involved in the study of mathematical techniques in economics and that this intuition develops not so much from solving problems as from visualizing them. Thus the author avoids the definition-theorem-proof style in favor of a structure that encourages the student’s geometric intuition of the mathematical results. The presentation of real numbers and functions emphasizes the notion of linearity. Consequently, linear algebra and matrix analysis are integrated into the presentation of the calculus of functions of several variables. The book concludes with a chapter on classical programming, and one on nonlinear and linear programming. This textbook will be of particular interest and value to graduate and senior undergraduate students of economics, because each major mathematical idea is related to an example of its use in economics.

Intuitive approach to mathematical tools for economists.......2000-04-27
This book provides the non-mathematician with a well thought out and accessible explanation of the mathematical tools of economics. The approach adopted by the author is to explain each concept a number of ways, and to structure the book so that each new concept follows the previous one. I highly recommend this book to any non-mathematical economist.

Book Description
This book is concerned with the use of fiscal and monetary policies to overcome three major obstacles to development commonly faced by less developed countries: inadequate investment; misallocation of investment resources; and internal and external imbalances i.e. inflation and balance of payments deficits. The book is divided into six chapters the first two of which are devoted to the definition of concepts and to an explanation of the Keynesian model of income determination and of Kalecki’s model of financing investment, within the framework of which the role of fiscal and monetary measures and of foreign capital is later examined. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss the role of fiscal measures and of foreign capital, respectively, in promoting domestic investment. Chapter 5 examines the use of both fiscal and monetary instruments, including industrial and agricultural development banks, to influence the pattern of investment. The last chapter is devoted to the problems of internal and external imbalances. The author examines policies pursued by a representative sample of developing countries and concludes that most of them fail adequately to exploit the potential of fiscal and monetary instruments and of foreign capital to overcome the three sets of obstacles to development largely bacause of institutonal (socio-political) constraints. The approach to inflation and balance of payments difficulties followed in the book differs significantly from that of monetarists, notably the Chicago school and the IMF, whose basic propositions are reviewed and critically examined in some detail in Chapters 2 and 6. Although the primary focus of the book is on developing economies, this part of it is also relevant to industrial countries.

The audio cd is powerful and the voice will keep you awake .......2007-06-13
This man is a great person for making this into audio , my friend gave me this cd and as soon as I started to listen all my goals and thoughts became alive. I found my goals were not big enough and when I did make my goal as big as Mr.Chandler said My goals came into focus . My goal ? 5 Computer certs to make over $75,000 by the age of 27 im 26 and 90 % there with my recent raise.
The simple circle planets will have you go why Could I not have started this at age 18
100 compelling reasons to keep getting up in the morning.......2007-05-10
Steve Chandler is an insistent, unabashed optimist, in the same vein as Norman Vincent Peale. He covers 100 motivational tips that stretch the imagination, factor in the impact of technology, and challenge you to evaluate your situation from different points of view. The choices you make can either motivate you or hinder you, so he provides a wide array of tips you can embrace, reject, or simply read and digest. You can implement the games and exercises to make working toward your dream goal more fun. Though much of the content is basic and available in other self-help books, we recommend this breezy paperback; you can carry it in your briefcase and open it up randomly if you're feeling low and want to get rejuvenated and motivated.
Motivation.......2007-03-17
This is a great tool to keep you moving. Easy ideas that do work. Steve Chandler makes motivating myself so much more simple than and it is an easy read.
Best self-help book in my collection, period........2006-11-28
I was raised to revere books and not mark them up, but every single one of my Steve Chandler books have highlighted passages in them, and the most highlighted and underlined of them all is "100 Ways..."! What distinguishes Chandler from other motivational writers is his extensive familiarity with the British author and philosopher Colin Wilson, and Steve has adapted Wilson's philosophy into readily usable techniques. (Some of the negative reviews I've read here seem to be about the audio version of this book. I haven't heard it, so I can't comment. But I heartily recommend the BOOK version of this book.)
Book Description
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BUSINESSWEEK, USA TODAY, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN STOCKS!
Simple-to-follow strategies for making--and keeping--profits in today's perilous stock market
More than 80 million investors lost 50 to 80 percent of their savings in the recent stock market crash. Investor's Business Daily publisher William J. O'Neil, however, was one of the first to see--and warn investors about--the dangers inherent in what had been, up to that point, a historic bull market run. Those who followed his counsel were able to sidestep devastating losses and emerge with their sizable bull market profits largely intact.
In The Successful Investor, O'Neil steps up to tell all investors how they can make money and, more important, avoid losses in up markets, down markets, and everything in between. Showing how mistakes made in the recent market collapse were amazingly similar to those made in previous down cycles, O'Neil reveals simple steps investors can follow to avoid costly mistakes and:
- Buy only the best stocks at only the best times
- Follow a market-tested 3-to-1 Profit-and-Loss Percentage Plan
- Know when to sell for the biggest possible profit
- Recognize chart patterns that presage enormous market moves
- Manage a portfolio over time to maximize its returns
William O'Neil has succeeded in virtually every market environment by following a stable, nonemotional investment plan. In his latest book, O'Neil explains how anyone can follow that plan to become a profitable long-term investor, regardless of market tides or turns.
The Successful Investor will bring reason and welcome relief to all investors buffeted and bewildered by the perils and uncertainty of today's stock market.

Outstanding investment/trading book........2007-05-20
William O' Neal has done an excellent job laying out for investors and stock traders the 5 steps to take for outstanding results. I have read Oneal's other books but this one really laid out his strategies in a very easy to understand format. Here are the 5 steps he puts forth:
#1 Which way is the general market going? Only invest in bull markets, if the market is continually going down and has rallies that fail and fall again into lows. Stay away and safely in cash. Wait to enter when the market is clearly in an uptrend.
#2 Use a simple 3 to 1 profit and loss percentage plan. By setting a 7% stop loss on all stocks, and capturing a 20% gain when you are right, you can be right on 33% of your stock picks and still be a profitable investor/trader. Of course this is the worst case scenario. The important thing is taking losses quickly and letting profits run to a reasonable place and then take them.
#3 How to buy the very best stocks at the very best times. Buy stocks using the CAN-SLIM method for the fundamental value. (With current and 5 year earnings increases being the #1 measurement of valuation). Then buy them after they have reached there 52 week high, pulled back and resumed upwards after coming off new support levels.(Cup and handle chart pattern).
#4 When to nail down your big profit. Sell a stock that has run up to a ridiculous price while it is still heading up. Do not try to call the top, these stocks pull back tremendously when they run out of buyers. The signs to sell include when it closes at the low for the day or fails to make new highs for a few days. (Railroad tracks on a chart).
#5 Managing your portfolio for maximum gains and minimum losses. When it is time to realign your portfolio sell your losers and keep your winners. Diversifying is for people who do not know what they are doing, successful investors buy 4 to 10 stocks they are experts on and watch them closely. Only add a new one after you sell your biggest loser. Never buy more of a stock that is going down only increase position sizes on winners. Only buy the best stocks in an industry, stay away from stocks under $15 to $20 a share.
Excellent book that belongs in every investors/traders library. William O'Neal belongs with other legendary traders he has done a great job of building on what others have learned. I predict it will be a classic one day.
John's Review.......2007-04-11
I believe every investor ought to read this book before putting any money in the market. If O'Neil's CANSLIM system is followed, it is IMPOSSIBLE to to lose money in the stock market!
Horrible.......2007-01-25
I knew a little bit about charts going into reading this book, and good thing I did, or you would be completely lost.
He has some wacky theories that I guess work for him, but when I read that he only recommends using a Market Order instead of a Limit order, I put the book down and quit reading.
Good book for those who watch the market daily.......2007-01-04
This is an especially helpful book if you are the kind of investor who spends at least 1 - 3 hours each day tracking the market. The author provides sound strategies for taking the emotion out of investing. But if you are an investor who prefers mutual funds, or prefers to have an investment counselor or broker guide your investments while you do other things, then this book is not for you.
Repetition of previous book.......2006-12-25
Much of the material in this book (2003) seems to be a repetition of the previous book titled "How To Make Money In Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times or Bad, 3rd Edition" (2002). It is hard to believe that so much changed in a year that the author needed to write a completely new book.
The section on pattern faults in Step 3 is sometimes vague and it is not always clear whether the fault being discussed applies to a specific pattern or to all patterns in general.
In his earlier book (How to Make Money in Stocks, 2002 edition, page 115) the author recommended that individual investors should not own more than 6-7 stocks. But in this book (page 98) he talks casually about owning up to 10 stocks. So, which one is correct; 6-7 or 10?
