Ed Hyman, Wall Street economist

This page turner by the legendary Colin Lancaster is a great read on many fronts. First, it’s a hilarious story about a group running a hedge fund. It outdoes some of Mike Lewis’ best, from beer pong in Las Vegas to a dinner in London with a group of billionaires.
Second, it’s a very good read on how the economy and central banks interplay with one another. Third, it covers the thinking of a host of icons, including Ray Dalio, Paul Tudor Jones, and Stan Druckenmiller. Fourth, it’s a great rundown of how markets and the economy unfolded in 2019 before the pandemic and how things ended in the summer of 2020 after markets had rebounded.
I was sad to have the book end just when we were getting to the future! I promise you won’t be sorry you read this book. I hope there’s a sequel!
