• by Lakshman Achuthan and Anirvan Banerji, New York: Currency Doubleday, 2004.

This book takes the questions out of deciding which of the hundreds of economic indicators to trust and which ones to trash, giving the reader the tools and confidence needed to make the right decisions at the right times — even when the rest of the investing and business world would disagree. Whether you are a corporate manager or the owner of a small business, whether you have your money invested in stocks or in your home, this book will give you the edge you need to stay ahead of the crowd.
