The World of Yesterday

I have just finished “World of yesterday” by Stefan Zweig, probably one of the best books I have ever read, it gives you a picture how the world was at the beginning of 20th century and how despite of cultural and technological advances of the world, Europe turned to madness. Now i am starting “Infinite Jest” by David Foster Wallace.

The Triumph of Conservatism by Gabriel Kolko - the book for understanding the rise of corporate serfdom The World of Yesterday by Stefan Zweig - will make you nostalgic for the days of monarchy World on Fire by Amy Chua - the single best book for understanding globalization that I have read. The antidote to Tom Friedman. America's Great Depression by Murray Rothbard - very different from the story you get in school. Is he right? Two favorite tech books are Inside Intuit and The Manager Pool
