Moneyball

I have enjoyed some of the author's past books and this is more of the same: A fairly complex political/economic system being explained in some detail, highlighting the clever ideas and tricks come up with by some clever people to circumvent it/get an edge. The only problem this time is that it focused on baseball, which I know only the very basics of (certainly not all of the lingo they seem to have). Still very fun, but I'd recommend going to the more purely economic titles, like "Flash Boys" or "The big short" first.

Yes, Dr. Craig, I finally read Moneyball. It wasn't as revolutionary to me as it was to you perhaps, because in the 80s I was one of those Bill James readers. This book was a good description of a sea change in baseball, and for that matter a good description of how to succeed in the stock market - find something that somebody else undervalues. Now I see that there is a movie coming out - looking forward to that and any sequel Michael Lewis chooses to write.
