About This Item
London: Michael Joseph, 1968. First edition of this classic work. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by S. A. Summit, Inc. The name of the Game is Money. It was Lord Keynes who first saw that the handling of it is a Game. And it is 'Adam Smith's' contention that all the books on money speak only of economics and statistics - and they're only half the Game. The other half of the Money Game is people, individually and together, emotional investor and irrational crowd. This book is about how the Money Game is played and how the players really behave.
Synopsis
" The Money Game , written by one who signs himself 'Adam Smith' (and who some believe is Harvard-and-Oxford-trained George J. W. Goodman), is a modern-day classic. Like many modern paintings, the book looks simple. But as W. Somerset Maugham said about an unforgettable Mondrian abstraction: 'It looks as though you had only to take a ruler, a tube of black paint and a tube of red, and you could do the thing yourself. Try!' "—Professor Paul A. Samuelson, First American Nobel Prize Winner in Economics. "Everyone who is anyone in U.S. investment already knows about 'Adam Smith,' " wrote Newsweek . 'Adam Smith' is also the author of Supermoney and Powers of Mind .
