Adult's fairy tale, yup, 1/3 of that. the later part is more about how the quants shaped up in the history. thereofre the earlier part is more fun and fresh to me.
The author got Pulitzer nomination, no wonder such a well-written book. Still not enough people know it (2005 first version) and people always have different view and taste of everything, so please ignore some stupid review/comments on Amazon.
One of the best book on Bill Miller's required reading list.
Open society, the Fooled by randomness, etc, show you one thought/philosophy that help you see through and survive the long-term game of wealth accumulation. Stay in the game and make yourself still availabel and participate the good, booming, even bubble times, that is the core of the game.
Soros is such a so-so writer, actually the idea of open society is much more facinating that what he can describe. Lucky you if you read and truly pick up the brain there. Open your mind, not exclude any outliner event, try to take advantage of small probability things.
Life is a calculated bet, just like what Robert Rubin try to tell you in his book. Just majority people don't truly believe it. Good for those minority who learn the lesson from that book.
what a life!
