From the host of NPR's Planet Money, the deeply-investigated story of how one visionary, dogged investor changed American finance forever.

The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market, Built an Empire, and Lost it All,  is the story of how Bill Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk, high reward; founded Pimco, one of today's most powerful, secretive, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recession--to his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers, and enemies, along the way. Like every American antihero, his ambition would also be his undoing.
