These are fairly complicated topics and many of the main points are up for debate. I specifically mentioned Jim Rogers because, though they are not specifically about bear market investing, he presents complicated macroeconomic topics in a very accessible manner and the books are good reads regardless of your economic views. If you like reading about history and world cultures, I am almost certain that you will enjoy his books.
Nonononono mentioned another good book called Financial Reckoning Day. This book has a lot of what you are looking for. Like most books, you have to sift the good information from the bad. They also have a website called the Daily Reckoning. You can browse some of their articles to see what they are all about. They also have a fairly good book list.
