“Market Shock: Nine Economic and Social Upheavals That Will Shake Your Financial Future--and What to Do About Them,” by Todd G. Buchholz, ($26, HarperBusiness). If you like to invest based on themes or trends, this breezy book may be worth your while. Buchholz, a former managing director of the Tiger investment fund, has come up with a number of novel predictions. For instance, he argues that a strong economy--and rising interest rates associated with economic growth--may lead to more crime, not less.
