Finance Books
Theory nerd and probably going for PHD eventually. Hate BS finance books from gurus and financial freedom sellers. These are technical and applicable.
Here's my list of suggested reads, and would love to hear any others:
When Genius Failed - Roger Lowenstein
Great for black swans, law of large numbers, separation of risk and uncertainty, Efficient Market Hypothesis.
Against the Gods - Roger Lowenstein
Great intro for history of math, historical development of statistics and risk management techniques and why they work
Money Changes Everything - History and role of currency in societal development
The Man Who Solved The Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution - Gregory Zuckerman
Finance and algorithm design from a world-class code-breaker and mathematician. On Renaissance's success, particularly the Medallion fund.
The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron - Joe Nocera
