"Manias, Panics and Crashes, by Charles Kinderberger."
Pretty sure I read that one already.

Isn't it about currencies devaluations, gold backing, and 1987 crash? And doesn't the author suggest that ALL currencies should be backed with gold. Yeah, I'm sure I read it. Is he a University Professor?

One thing you'll get from most Economics Professors is that the markets are always over valued. The walk around seeing the gloom more then most. But you can still find some Economics Prof's that don't believe in a gold backing, but in the floating currency mechanism.

Sure, I'll go check it out again. See if I did read it.
