This new edition of the bestselling guide brings sophisticated
investors—including institutional and individual investors,
investment bankers, and those who want to follow in the footsteps
of legends like John Bogle—up to date on ETFs, risk management,
neuropsychological investing concepts, and more Since its original
publication two decades ago, The Four Pillars of Investing has
become a classic guide for serious investors. The practicalities of
investing, however, have changed dramatically, particularly
pertaining to ETFs, and thinking has evolved about a host of key
issues, such as lifecycle finance, the nature of risk, and basic
finance and neuropsychological concepts. This new edition has been
fully updated to address all these issues. Retired neurologist and
hugely popular finance author William Bernstein applies his
trademark informal writing style to help you become more
self-sufficient and make better-informed investment decisions. He
walks you through the “four pillars” of investing: The Theory
of Investing: “Do not expect high returns without risks.” The
History of Investing: “About once every generation, the markets
go barking mad. If you are unprepared, you are sure to fail.” The
Psychology of Investing: “Your greatest investment enemy is the
face staring back at you in the window.” The Business of
Investing: “The investment industry wants to make you poor and
stupid. Don’t let them.” You’ll learn how to build a solid
foundation for investing by focusing on these four essential
lessons, each of which builds upon the other. The Four Pillars of
Investing includes practical investing advice based on fascinating
history lessons from the market, exercises to determine risk
tolerance as an investor, and easy-to-understand explanations of
risk and reward in the capital markets. This unmatched resource
provides the tools you need to construct a high-performance
portfolio—without the help of a financial adviser.
"Compact and immensely readable . . . a tour de force. Prepare to
be amazed." -- John C. Bogle, Founder and Former CEO, The Vanguard
Group
"Vital--a cogent, timely journey through the economic history of
the modern world." -- "Publishers Weekly"
In "The Birth of Plenty," William Bernstein, the bestselling
author of The Four Pillars of Investing, presents his provocative,
highly acclaimed theory of why prosperity has been the engine of
civilization for the last 200 years.
This is a fascinating, irresistibly written "big-picture" work
that highlights and explains the impact of four elements that when
occurring simultaneously, are the fundamental building blocks for
human progress: Property rights, which drive creativity Scientific
rationalism, which permits the freedom to innovate without fear of
retribution; Capital markets, which provide funding for people to
pursue their visions; Transportation/communication, which allows
for the effective transfer of ideas and products.
Meticulously researched, splendidly told, and featuring a new
preface and introduction, "The Birth of Plenty" explains the
interplay of the events, philosophies, and related phenomena that
were nothing less than the crucible of the modern age. This is one
of the rare books that will change how you look at the world.
