Street Smarts
In Street Smarts, Wall Street legend Jim Rogers offers investing insights and economic, political, and social analysis, drawing on lessons and observations from his lifetime in the markets. Street Smarts offers often surprising observations on how the world works and what trends Rogers sees in the future. The age of Wall Street, Rogers claims, when the finance industry drove 25% of America’s growth, is over. Tomorrow’s economy will be driven by those who make things—food, energy, goods and consumables. He explains why Asia will be the dominant economic force in the twenty-first century, and discusses why America and the European Union are in decline, and what we need to do to right our economy and society.
"Buy it. We endorse it absolutely and enthusiastically."

“More than his outsized wealth and contempt for those in power, though, it is Rogers' knack for outsized fun that makes him seem worth knowing...Street Smarts shines when it conveys that zest.”
— USA Today
"Street Smarts" is another great read from one of the most astute global investors of our time.
