Review

'The best account ever published of the economics, politics and adrenalin of these amazing firms. It shows why hedge funds dominate the world of finance and why the politicians who rail against them end up making them more powerful' Anatole Kaletsky 'A warts-and-all history of hedge funds...a splendid account of the ups and downs of an industry in which few of the twenty-something hedge-fund wannabes know their history. They, and meddling politicians, should read this book before they are condemned to repeat it' Financial Times 'An enormously satisfying book: a gripping chronicle of the cutting edge of the financial markets and a fascinating perspective on what was going on in these shadowy institutions as the crash hit' Observer 'A superbly researched history of hedge-fund heroes stretching back to the 1950s, it is a fascinating tale of the contrarian and cerebral misfits who created successful, flexible businesses in an otherwise conventional financial world' Economist

Product Description

Wealthy, powerful, and potentially dangerous, hedge-find managers have emerged as the stars of twenty-first century capitalism. Based on unprecedented access to the industry, "More Money Than God" provides the first authoritative history of hedge funds. This is the inside story of their origins in the 1960s and 1970s, their explosive battles with central banks in the 1980s and 1990s, and finally their role in the financial crisis of 2007-9. Hedge funds reward risk takers, so they tend to attract larger-than-life personalities. Jim Simons began life as a code-breaker and mathematician, co-authoring a paper on theoretical geometry that led to breakthroughs in string theory. Ken Griffin started out trading convertible bonds from his Harvard dorm room. Paul Tudor Jones happily declared that a 1929-style crash would be 'total rock-and-roll' for him. Michael Steinhardt was capable of reducing underlings to sobs. 'All I want to do is kill myself,' one said. 'Can I watch?' Steinhardt responded. A saga of riches and rich egos, this is also a history of discovery. Drawing on insights from mathematics, economics and psychology to crack the mysteries of the market, hedge funds have transformed the world, spawning new markets in exotic financial instruments and rewriting the rules of capitalism. And while major banks, brokers, home lenders, insurers and money market funds failed or were bailed out during the crisis of 2007-09, the hedge-fund industry survived the test, proving that money can be successfully managed without taxpayer safety nets. Anybody pondering fixes to the financial system could usefully start here: the future of finance lies in the history of hedge funds.

读后感

书很不错。但翻译水平太差。翻译者金融功底还不错,但文字功底很差,翻译腔严重。这种从中文句子能够看出英文原文是什么的译作,读起来很费劲。 这是翻译金融类畅销书的矛盾。有金融背景的,翻译水平差;翻译经验丰富的,缺乏金融常识。 我看到译者说,在金融业有十年时间,翻...

1. 如果要简单概括hedge fund特点,书中提到的combination of hedging and leverage最恰当不过了。虽然现在一部分hedge fund并不这么做,但不得不承认A.W.Jones这个想法开创了这个行业。(Page 2) 2. 我很喜欢作者去掉h变成edge fund的说法。这个edge就像所谓的“秘制酱料”,...

如果你觉得对冲基金很神秘,建议你看看这本书。 里面的某些细节描述,基本构成了一家对冲基金应该怎么建立,如何进行投资,投资那些领域,怎么取得成功,涉及了什么的金融学原理,作者一直想说明,为什么某只对冲基金是他们那个时代的天之骄子。从大萧条之后开始说起...

这本书写得很棒,对于一个想要了解美国对冲基金发展史的读者来说。 之前另一本同类题材的书是巴顿比格斯的《对冲基金风云录》,那本书成功地塑造了基金经理的群像。这本书,整理出了对冲基金的编年史。 这本书的缺点是,可能是因为字数过多的原因,纸张使用的是70G的轻型纸,单...

相当不错的一本书,主要是描述对冲基金的历史,以及那些名人。算是一个点子集锦吧。 1 最初的琼斯:创立了多空对冲的市场中性操作方式,主要获利方式是选股,组织结构上开创了部门式的子单位/策略结构,特质是勤奋(用积极击败懒散,比如自己跑到证监会办公室去查最新的报表,...
