I learned alot from this post when you gave a example of a possible currency bubble in Russia. Really interesting and i see your point and agree.

Do you have any litterature you would recommend that explore these topics, or just any book that you would recommend for someone interested in economics (mostly currencies)? Or perhaps just a author you find wisdomful.

I have gone to a pretty basic course in economics and econometrics, so the book's doesnt need to be super "noob", i do have a fundamental understanding of the more basics concepts

Nowadays, I've stopped reading anything except manuals and tech articles

I'm mostly writing myself these days. Nevertheless, the bulk of my knowledge comes mostly from the real life observations and communicating with people who know more than me in a certain field of human activity. For example, right now I'm interested in the specifics of carry-trade (I mentioned it before) since it is of practical interest to me. When I have time I will certainly look into what real currency traders have to say on the matter (I'm not so much interested in theory as its application in practice). if you are still interested which books had most influence on my understanding of economics in general (or just left a trace in my memory), I could name a couple still. This is the Principles of Economics by Carl Menger, the farther of Austrian school of economics (though this doesn't necessarily mean that I agree with everything they teach) and Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. The latter just makes an interesting read on its own and thus should be read by anyone (it is an easy reading but still rather informative)

Thank you for taking time to make a few mentions and for explaining your view on learning! <3
