Change!
How to Learn More about Investing Reader Beware!
The earliest known written texts have to do with making money, but they pale in comparison to the extravagant claims that abound today. We recommend the following for starters:

Personal Finance for Dummies by Eric Tyson
Starting and Running a Profitable Investment Club by Thomas O’Hara and Kenneth Janke
With your routine, daily activities, you can contribute to the kind of social change you believe in–if you join a syntropic community.
