Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist

This is a discussion between Matt Cochrane & I about Buffett: The Making of anAmerican Capitalist by Roger Lowenstein.

This was the first biography of Warren Buffett, published in 1995, and it remains one of the best.

It was written when Buffett was already an investing legend, one of the wealthiest men in the world, and well-known in the investing community. However, it was before Buffett was a mainstream celebrity. It remains the best biography of Warren Buffett ever written.
