The Money Game

Adam Smith · 2015
🎙 Narrated by David Rapkin
80/100
👍 Worth It

Penny here — this is a genuine classic, sharp and funny about how the stock market is really a game of psychology dressed up as science, and it was writing about behavioral finance decades before that was even a phrase. David Rapkin narrates it well, though you'll want to mentally translate the 1960s market references to today's headlines.

✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
