Currently reading "Basic Economics" and it is fantastic.

Anyone got any other recommendations (this one was recommended on WF).

I'm particularly interested in fractional reserve banking and the creation of credit but I can't find a definitively great and balanced book on the subject.

Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers"

tldr: to be good at anything you need to put 10,000 hours in.

Get your hustle on GWMs!

I like the book a lot. It's funny how reading ideas that you just instinctively apply, forces you to refine the conclusions from the many times unconscious/barely conscious processes that can be developed out of experience. It is also light, so it is easy to unwind with this book and a drink and maybe even a smoke after a long days work.
