He helped start Institutional Investor magazine in the 1960s and was executive editor of Esquire in the 1970s. He was the host of Adam Smith's Money World on PBS from 1984 to 1997.

The Money Game door George Goodman
My copy has a 9-digit SBN: 330 02555 4.
Something of a relic of its time, since these essays were written in the go-go years of the 1960s stock markets. To that extent, it's valuable as a time capsule, but that's about it. The humour can be very forced at times, and if you read the essays all at once, there's a certain "get on with it" attitude that creeps up over you. A few insights, but mostly historical value.
