Hedgehogging, Barton Biggs Wednesday, November 28, 2007
Posted by ei-forum in Book Reviews.trackback
This is one of the best books we have read in a while! Barton Biggs offers readers a truly fascinating account of Wall Street and the hedge fund world.
The book is well written, interesting, instructive, funny and captivating. It is not a tale of ‘hot shot’ hedge fund managers but a very eloquent and detailed account of the fascinating world of hedge funds, the people (both a mangers and investors) and the inner workings. Apart from the tales of Wall Street, the book also wonders back in history and offers unique insights and lessons from Bismark and John Maynard Keynes.
The book is a mix of The Intelligent Investor, One Up on Wall Street and Liar’s Poker…. we think this ranks in the must read list! We came across this by chance and can’t stress what a good read this was.
As David F. Swensen from the Yale Endowment said:
“Barton Biggs writes about markets with greater style, clarity, and insight than any other observer of the Wall Street scene…”
