"A lot has happened in the financial markets since 1992, when Peter Bernstein wrote his seminal Capital Ideas. Happily, Peter has taken up his facile pen again to describe these changes, a virtual revolution in the practice of investing that relies heavily on complex mathematics, derivatives, hedging, and hyperactive trading. This fine and eminently readable book is unlikely to be surpassed as the definitive chronicle of a truly historic era." – John C. Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group and author, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing "Just as Dante could not have understood or survived the perils of the Inferno without Virgil to guide him, investors today need Peter Bernstein 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; thank goodness he did." – Jason Zweig, Investing Columnist, Money magazine "Another must-read from Peter Bernstein! This well-written and thought-provoking book provides valuable insights on how key finance theories have evolved from their ivory tower formulation to profitable application by portfolio managers. This book will certainly be read with keen interest by, and undoubtedly influence, a wide range of participants in international finance." – Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, President and CEO of Harvard Management Company, Deputy Treasurer of Harvard University, and member of the faculty of the Harvard Business School "Reading Capital Ideas Evolving is an experience not to be missed. Peter Bernstein’s knowledge of the principal characters-the giants in the development of investment theory and practice-brings this subject to life." – Linda B. Strumpf, Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, The Ford Foundation "With great clarity, Peter Bernstein introduces us to the insights of investment giants, and explains how they transformed financial theory into portfolio practice. This is not just a tale of money and models; it is a fascinating and contemporary story about people and the power of their ideas." – Elroy Dimson, BGI Professor of Investment Management, London Business School "Capital Ideas Evolving provides us with a unique appreciation for the pervasive impact that the theory of modern finance has had on the development of our capital markets. Peter Bernstein once again has produced a masterpiece that is must reading for practitioners, educators and students of finance." – André F. Perold, Professor of Finance, Harvard Business School

Sensible Rules to Regulate Risk?
Sheila C. Bair looks to be leading the regulatory race to the top, Breakingviews says. The agency she oversees, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation , recently unveiled a handful of clever ideas to contain risky bank behavior and protect the nation’s deposit insurance fund. Commercials for Kelly Moss’s Failed Business Ideas
The authors believe that capitalism works best, but without an underlying moral foundation, it can easily slip into a dysfunctional economy when necessary conditions for capitalism do not exist. The authors measure the success and failure of government policies based on historical and factual evidence in each country. A policy failure in one country, however, does not necessarily indicate that the policy per se was wrong unless similar policies also failed in other countries. That is why cross-country comparison in Failed is useful. Understanding other countries is more important today than ever before because what happens in China, for example, impacts the the U.S. and the EU and vise versa with lightening speed. For the cause of a failure (success), the authors look into broader practices than economics. They also provide their personal insights drawn from their experience working for many years in the United States and several developing countries in Asia. A must read for ordinary citizens, business professionals, and students of economics, government, and social science, Failed sheds light on endless and often groundless arguments between conservatives and liberals concerning public policy with facts, figures and examples.
Two of our leading financial journalists demythologize the cult of free markets, and offer a devastating critique of the ideas and policies that have led to our current economic crisis
