“Financial Markets Principals” by Christoph Lymbersky
“Nowadays everybody can call themselves a Financial Analyst, Financial Specialist or Financial Advisor. The market is full of self-proclaimed professionals. However, only a few of them really know the principals of financial markets, how they work, how they are related to each other and how to analyze them. In this textbook I am trying to explain what a financial market is, how it works and how trading can be done. This book is comprehensive enough to serve as a textbook for students that are studying finance and as a reference for professionals who are looking for more background information or that are interested in further educating themselves about different markets, trading styles, technical analysis or investment strategies.”
This book is also the textbook for the Certified Financial Markets Professional (CFMP) Certification which is supposed to bring some light into the dark jungle of unqualified investment advisors and analysts.

“The Outline of Science” by Sir John Arthur Thomson
Was it not the great philosopher and mathematician Leibnitz who said that the more knowledge advances the more it becomes possible to condense it into little books? Now this “Outline of Science” is certainly not a little book, and yet it illustrates part of the meaning of Leibnitz’s wise saying. For here within reasonable compass there is a library of little books–an outline of many sciences.

“An inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith
An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations is Smith’s magnum opus and most influential work, first published on 9 March 1776 during the Scottish Enlightenment. It is a clearly written account of political economy at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, and is widely considered to be the first modern work in the field of economics. It is often considered one of the most influential books on the subject ever published. The Wealth of Nations was written for the average educated individual of the 18th century rather than for specialists and mathematicians. There are three main concepts that Smith expands upon in this work that forms the foundation of free market economics: division of labour, pursuit of self interest, and freedom of trade. The Wealth of Nations expounds that the free market, while appearing chaotic and unrestrained, is actually guided to produce the right amount and variety of goods by a so-called “invisible hand”. The image of the invisible hand was previously employed by Smith in Theory of Moral Sentiments, but it has its original use in his essay, “The History of Astronomy”. Smith believed that while human motives were often driven by selfishness and greed, the competition in the free market would tend to benefit society as a whole by keeping prices low, while still building in an incentive for a wide variety of goods and services. Nevertheless, he was wary of businessmen and argued against the formation of monopolies.

Globalization has not reached its end yet, in fact we might still be at the beginning of it, but some aspects have already reached its maximum. Our physical and practical limits become clear to us if we take a look at pretty much any day of an international working manager. In the future we will need to pay more attention to these borders, accept them and choose the best business locations to maximize the productivity of our work days.
