The Equity Risk Premium: The Long-Run Future Of The Stock Market (227 pages, $59.95 hardcover, 1999, ISBN 0471327352), by Bradford Cornell, published by John Wiley & Sons. The equity risk premium -- the difference between the rate of return on common stock and the return on government securities -- has been widely recognized as the key to forecasting future returns in the stock market. Though it’s relatively simple in theory, understanding and making practical use of the equity risk premium concept can be dauntingly complex. But this book makes accessible an authoritative explanation of the equity risk premium and how it works in the real world. It is a nontechnical, step-by-step presentation that leads the reader to a new and more enlightened basis for making asset allocation choices.

Beat The Millennium Crash: How To Profit From The Coming Financial Crisis (218 pages, $25 hardcover, 1999, ISBN 0735201196), by Jake Bernstein, published by New York Institute of Finance. In 1989, the author rejected the prevailing financial view: a gloomy picture of America in decline, supplanted by the economic powerhouses of the Pacific Rim. Instead, he predicted not only the huge expansion of the American economy, but also the severe contraction of the then-ascendant Japanese economy. He also predicted an end to inflation, a peak in interest rates, their extended decline, and a war in the Middle East. Ten years later, he envisions a darker economic future. A dramatic decline in world stock markets is coming. It may, or may not, be precipitated by the so-called millennium bug, but Bernstein maintains it is coming. This book answers the tough questions every smart investor should be asking as the market peaks and the inevitable collapse looms.

Patterns In The Dark: Understanding Risk And Financial Crisis With Complexity Theory (222 pages, $39.95 hardcover, 1999, ISBN 047123947X), by Edgar E. Peters, published by John Wiley & Sons. This book offers an entirely new perspective on an issue of ongoing concern to investors: the unpredictability of the financial markets. In this work, the author makes accessible ways of understanding market behavior. He explains how processes with a large number of independent agents, such as free markets, can spontaneously organize themselves into coherent systems. Using everyday examples, Peters shows how complex systems use uncertainty to adapt to changes in their environment and to absorb unexpected shocks. As proof, he cites instructive examples of how rash or heavy-handed attempts to eliminate uncertainty in markets have invariably led to disaster.
