"Hedge Fund Alpha is an invaluable resource for both managers and investors in one of the most dynamic segments of the capital markets. It concludes with an astute listing of changes likely to sweep the hedge fund industry in the next few years. If they come to pass, Longo's highly readable volume may soon require a new edition, which could put the book on the path to becoming a permanent and indispensable feature of the hedge fund world."

"Risk and information are two key ingredients of financial economics.

"This is a wonderful book on one of the most important topics of our time. The authors, who are world-leading researchers in the field, show how careful formal analysis can reveal deep insights on how to understand a just society. They challenge simplistic interpretations of the idea of equality of opportunity and provide guidance on how redistribution policies can contribute to a more just society. This book will be extremely useful for students interested in distributive justice, certainly inspire future research, and hopefully also influence policy makers."

"Every doctor, policy maker, and concerned citizen should listen as Fuchs explains the keys to getting physicians to make cost-effective decisions, the only promising way to control health-care costs. They should listen again as he identifies the drastic shifts over 40 years in how Americans pay for care, and then explains why that shift to bigger payers with much more bargaining power has failed to restrain costs. Finally, they should ponder the reform plan he presents here, developed with Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, after distilling wisdom from dozens of experts in a multi-year project. If great clarity, practical insights, and relevant data on health care are what you want, Vic Fuchs' Who Shall Live? is for you."

It also presents important papers with a critical view towards the Kelly criterion. Among them figures the famous three page paper of P. Samuelson from 1979 which is written by using exclusively one syllable words."

"It provides an excellent background, not only to the development of Shari'a banking principles, but also with reference to the history of Islam in South East Asia ¡­ This is a much needed guide for those interested in the evolution of Islamic banking and finance in South East Asia. It outlines not only the intricacies of a technically complex area of the financial markets in this important region."

"This new version of The Making of Economics is from one of the most thoughtful and literate scholars of our day. Reading it is a true pleasure, something not often offered by economic volumes. I urge the attention of all with an interest in this subject that so embraces our lives."
