A History of Interest Rates
by Sidney Homer, Richard Sylla
Simon Johnson says: Some of my favourite books are just about data. This history shows us that interest rates can go down for a very long time – and then they go up
Marc Faber says: A historical document about how interest rates have moved over thousands of years. It has some interesting observations: Sidney Homer was an academic and a very intelligent and knowledgeable man so I think that everybody – everybody who is in investment – should read this book.
