Perhaps http://quant.stackexchange.com/ would be better suited for this question?

although it doesn't qualify as an answer, http://www.georgesoros.com/books/the_crash_of_2008_and_what_it_means/ is a great reading for someone interested in macro-investments.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-12-16)

What is a good reading list for Global Macro investing? What does Bridgewater, Bervan Howard, Soros, AQR etc. use to teach their staff about macroeconomic investing?

Let us assume a top-class education at the undergraduate level in economics, maths, and economic history so as to avoid the common recommendations of not very useful introductory texts.

Note: Global Macro Investing involves expressing views on commodities, rates, FX, Real Estate, Equities and other asset classes using ownership, futures, or options to find relative value and generate alpha on a global basis.

For example: Short USDTRY on asset outflows from turkey due to geo-political risk and US tightening cycle compared to TRY printing/easing.
