Fascinating book, but I am of two minds:
1. I love most of the references and explanations of Austrian Economics, economists, history, etc.
2. I am not so convinced about his explanations of Dao/Taoism and the strategies and methods he thinks are really cool. Too much esoteric (VERY new to me) jargon in this section.
The descriptions of his (and others') trading in the Chicago commodity pits was pretty realistic.
