Given the audience on HN I recommend the very readable "Misbehavior of Markets" by Mandelbrot. Everything worth reading in Taleb's book is a dumbed down rehash of Mandelbrot's ideas.

I agree. Might as well just read Popper and Hume and cut out the middle-man.

Did Popper and/or Hume write about markets?
