Interest Rates, Prices and Liquidity: Lessons from the Financial Crisis (Macroeconomic Policy Making) by Jagjit S. Chadha and Sean Holly : the book

Many of the assumptions that underpin mainstream macroeconomic models have been challenged as a result of the traumatic events of the recent financial crisis. Thus, until recently, it was widely agreed that although the stock of money had a role to play, in practice it could be ignored as long as we used short-term nominal interest rates as the instrument of policy because money and other credit markets would clear at the given policy rate. However, very early on in the financial crisis interest rates effectively hit zero percent and so central banks had to resort to a wholly new set of largely untested instruments to restore order, including quantitative easing and the purchase of toxic financial assets. This book brings together contributions from economists working in academia, financial markets and central banks to assess the effectiveness of these policy instruments and explore what lessons have so far been learned.
 

It seems to be very useful!

The New Rules for Investing Now: Smart Portfolios for the Next Fifteen Years By James P. O'Shaughnessy : the book

A unique and timely new wealth-building strategy from a legendary investment guru

When the dot-com bubble burst, many investors assumed that it was just another temporary setback for the mighty S&P 500, which had just enjoyed its best twenty-year real rate of return in over a century.

But James P. O’Shaughnessy, the bestselling author of What Works on Wall Street and How to Retire Rich, doesn’t trust assumptions; he does rigorous analysis. After digging into the long-term cyclical patterns of the last hundred years, he concluded that almost every "lesson" investors learned in the past twenty years no longer applies.

If you think you can protect your money by focusing on "safe" large-cap stocks and mutual funds, you’re in for a big disappointment. In the new cycle now under way, the stocks of small and midsize companies will consistently outperform the large-cap growth stocks of the S&P 500. Large company value stocks and intermediate term bonds will also do better than expected. The New Rules for Investing Now explains how the investment landscape has changed—and what you should do about it.
