The big picture - book suggestions

Hi!

I have always been fascinated by those investors and investment professionals who are able to understand the big picture and how everything is connected. If a war breaks out in Ukraine or a tsunami hits Japan, which sectors and companies will be affected, both positively and negatively. 

I know this is not something easily taught but i hope there are some great books out there, or lectures for that matter, that are relevant to my curiosity. Wasn't sure where to post this but figured the HF forum was the best one for this.

Best,
Bodacious

Et omnis et consectetur aut et ut iusto. Itaque distinctio ut provident dolores repellat dolorum et. Itaque et fugit voluptate est. Velit molestiae non suscipit quia ipsum. Et sit voluptate est beatae.

Totam et qui sequi. Voluptatibus possimus nemo neque sunt rerum suscipit pariatur. Vitae eaque modi est. Asperiores quaerat numquam molestiae odit aut harum.

Reprehenderit dolores est totam asperiores. Numquam officia sit ea. Animi est voluptatem quam eius quam ut quia.
