Capital Ideas Evolving
von Peter L. Bernstein„A lot has happened in the financial markets since 1992, when PeterBernstein wrote his seminal Capital Ideas. Happily, Peter has takenup his facile pen again to describe these changes, a virtualrevolution in the practice of investing that relies heavily oncomplex mathematics, derivatives, hedging, and hyperactive trading. This fine and eminently readable book is unlikely to be surpassedas the definitive chronicle of a truly historic era.“
--John C. Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group andauthor, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing
"Just as Dante could not have understood or survived the perils ofthe Inferno without Virgil to guide him, investors today need PeterBernstein to help find their way across dark and shifting ground. No one alive understands Wall Street's intellectual history better, and that makes Bernstein our best and wisest guide to the future. He is the only person who could have written this book; thankgoodness he did.„
--Jason Zweig, Investing Columnist, Moneymagazine
