书籍简介：

Wall Street legend and bestselling author Jim Rogers offers investing insights and economic, political, and social analysis, drawing on lessons and observations from his lifetime in the markets. Jim Rogers, whose entertaining accounts of his travels around the world — studying the markets from Russia to Singapore from the ground up– has enthralled readers, investors and Wall Street aficionados for two decades in such books as "Investment Biker," "Adventure Capitalist," "Hot Commodities" and "A Bull In China" . In his engaging memoir "Street Smarts," Rogers offers pithy commentary from a lifetime of adventure, from his early years growing up a naive kid in Demopolis, Alabama, to his fledgling career on Wall Street, to his cofounding the wildly successful Quantum Fund. Rogers always had a restless curiosity to experience and understand the world around him. In "Street Smarts," he takes us through the highlights of his life in the financial markets, from his school days at Yale and Oxford — where despite the fact that he didn't have enough money to afford the appropriate pair of shoes, he coxed the crew and helped to win the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race as well as the Thames Cup, the first of his three Guiness World Records — to his first heady taste of Wall Street in the mid – 1960s, and his years helping to run the most successful hedge fund on Wall Street. As a result of his extraordinary success with the Quantum Fund, Rogers was able to retire at the age of thirty-seven. Since then he has taught classes in finance at Columbia University, hosted television programs, and traveled the world seeing firsthand how revolutions in Chile affect coffee prices in Seattle, and how shortages of copper in Africa affect electricity brownouts in Ohio. In the course of his new book, Rogers offers often surprising observations on how the world works – and what trends he sees in the future. He explains why Asia will be the dominant economic force in the twenty-first century – and how he and his wife and two daughters moved to Singapore to prepare his family for the coming changes.. He discusses why America and the European Union are in decline, and what we need to do to right our economy and society. The age of Wall Street, Rogers claims, when the finance industry drove 25% of America's growth, is over. Tomorrow's economy will be driven by those who make things – food, energy, goods and consumables. Regarded as one of the most astute investors Wall Street has ever known, Jim Rogers once again is at his acerbic and storytelling best.

书友短评：

@ Miu 最后几章有大段重叠的内容啊。尤其是讲中国的。不过他的一些预言是实现 了。经济嗅觉很不错。 @ James Deep insights on what happened in the world recently. Using simple language and basic principles to explain the complexity well and so convincing. @ pungpung Brilliant comments on various world economies, commodities, and investing. Some views on China are in my opinion overly optimistic, but his reasoning makes sense. @ 节奏 又读了一遍，真他妈叼，叼爆了。 @ Jiong 聪明但有点自大 @ Rfish 对美国政府和美国社会的批评充满洞见 @ 苏菲苏菲 除了具有独树一帜的投资观，Rogers骂起人来也十分爽快 @ 开木 严格来说这本书并非着重于投资。此书的重点是阐述罗杰斯思维模式。印象很深的是罗杰斯从生活微小的观察发现诸多投资机会的过程。当听到罗杰斯讲述他在博茨瓦纳的经历时，简直佩服。 @ 咖啡过敏患者 to see the world
