The book highlights key figures such as Gene Fama, Jack Bogle, John McQuown, and Nate Most, and discusses significant events like Warren Buffett's bet against hedge funds and the rise of ETFs.
Wigglesworth brings to life the characters and events that transformed investing and saved billions in fees for individual investors.
