I need a recommendation about a good book on Financial Markets/Analysis from an Austrian perspective. I tried to read a few books on this topic but I keep finding unbelievable errors and ignorant statements by the authors all over the place. I mean if they are Keynesians, Marxists or followers of any other from the long list of pseudo-economists, then I guess those statements are probably OK... then again I would like to improve my knowledge about financial markets from a scientific/Austrian perspective and not from a fantastic fairytale point of view...

 

Thanks.

I don't know if you'd find Bill Bonner and co.'s books helpful in this regard, since they target dummy readers such as myself and may not go in-depth on certain topics. 

And check out Mark Skousen, Jim Rogers and Peter Schiff as well.

Or did you mean an Austrian perspective on technical analysis? I don't know if anyone's written such a book.

You don't need Austrian so much as not-tainted-by-Keynes analysis.  If you can find something written by experienced financial writers with no formal education, it's probably as good as anything.
