Every now and then, I share with you some of my favourite financial books.

The universe of financial books is large, but the term “great” should only apply on rare occasions. Most of them are of no interest and will help in no way whatsoever to increase your wealth (but it may well increase the wealth of their publishers and writers). There is an old saying that information is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom. Nowhere else other than the financial world does this saying apply better.

Of course, there are great financial books and some are even extraordinary. The best ones have usually been written by money managers who got very rich and don’t even need the money from selling books. You may wonder why they bother to share their wisdom with us at all. That is a very good question and my best answer is because they probably want to leave something of value from their life experience to others. It may also be that they received guidance from books themselves and feel the need to return the favour to society. Over the years, I’ve read hundreds of books about finance. To save you time (and money), I wanted to share something I’ve created: The Hall of Fame of Finance Books.
