Histoire
In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose start-up “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fund-raising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’ worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work.

The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won't create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.

David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters, and scientists. He discovered that in most fields - especially those that are complex and unpredictable - generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world.

Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalisation and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change - these are sources of great anxiety across the world. The resources to address these challenges are there - what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us.

In March 2006, the world's richest men sipped champagne in an opulent New York hotel. They were preparing to compete in a poker tournament with Âmillion-dollar stakes. At the card table that night was Peter Muller, who managed a fabulously successful hedge fund called PDT. With him was Ken Griffin, who was the tough-as-nails head of Citadel Investment Group. There, too, were Cliff Asness, the founder of the hedge fund AQR Capital Management, and Boaz Weinstein, king of the credit-default swap.
Description
New York Times best seller
Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award
The perfect gift for the avid reader on your list: the unbelievable story of a secretive mathematician who pioneered the era of the algorithm - and made $23 billion doing it.
Jim Simons is the greatest money maker in modern financial history. No other investor - Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, Steve Cohen, or George Soros - can touch his record. Since 1988, Renaissance's signature Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66 percent. The firm has earned profits of more than $100 billion; Simons is worth 23 billion dollars.
Drawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees, Zuckerman, a veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former code breaker mastered the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven, algorithmic approach that's sweeping the world.
As Renaissance became a market force, its executives began influencing the world beyond finance. Simons became a major figure in scientific research, education, and liberal politics. Senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency, placing Steve Bannon in the campaign and funding Trump's victorious 2016 effort. Mercer also impacted the campaign behind Brexit.
The Man Who Solved the Market is a portrait of a modern-day Midas who remade markets in his own image, but failed to anticipate how his success would impact his firm and his country. It's also a story of what Simons' revolution means for the rest of us.
Includes a PDF of Appendices 1 and 2 with charts

Commentaires
"A gripping biography of investment game changer Jim Simons...readers looking to understand how the economy got where it is should eat this up." (Publishers Weekly)
"Worthwhile reading for budding plutocrats and numerate investors alike." (Kirkus)
"Zuckerman vividly tells the story of how Jim Simons and his team of scientists developed the most successful quantitative trading operation in history.... Immensely enjoyable." (Edward O. Thorp, author of A Man for All Markets)

Not worth it
The book could be an interesting story about really smart, focused people who first figure out and then capitalize on inefficiencies in investing markets.
Unfortunately, the author can’t help him self and you are repeatedly subjected to the authors political biases. Congratulations on your biases. It did nothing to illuminate the story, make it more real or increase its relevancy to the central premise: smart people who figured out the markets.

Good general history, some personal overtones but easily teased out
Listen to the first 2/3rds if you’re interested in finance, learning about Renaissance and Jim Simons.
Listen to the last 1/3 if you’re interested in an Anti-Trump political piece. It took a strange turn.

It's Okay - Big Head Fake Here
Narrator is great
Story is okay but deviates to smear Bob Mercer and covers, in detail, the story of a particular employee. It barely covers the nuts and bolts of Quant trading operations. It's never super deep.
Oddly, there is the fired former-employee named David Magerman that was super open to the writer and gave much content. So the last 2 of 3 chapters are about Magerman, his angst, and his therapy needs. Weird.
This book contains 25% about Jim Simons and early collaborators, 50% about Quant trading, and 25% about Magermann. So, you have to endure 50% personal stuff to get to the trading content. The personal content is like reading People Magazine,

Authors biased tirade in chapter 15...
Chapter 15 was almost completely unnecessary and irrelevant. Weakens his credibility for the entire book. Extremely left and one sided. We want to hear about the fund and the story, not prime time CNN. Book fantastic besides the authors incessant unwanted political views.

Fascinating, but a bit biased
The book is mostly a well researched expose on the life of James Simons, the math professor who became one of the pioneers of quantitative investing. But the latter portion of the book was devoted to Bob Mercer, a Simons protege who harbored Republican political views. The author has a clear bias against conservative views and President Trump which was evident towards the end. Basically, the author believes that Mercer--who is a Republican--must be stopped and isn't allowed to have conservative political views while holding a top job at the company. And everyone else, who are Democrats--including Simons himself--are completely fine.

Impressive on so many levels.
I listen to what the visionaries were doing 40 years ago and I am in awe. This man understood the necessity to collect the the most brilliant minds and factor everything in his quantom formula to benefit his mission.... Making money. Even better is the works he did after his success and continues to do. Sorry he had such severe tragedies is his life.

Short of details
I don’t think Zuckerman had enough of a story to tell about the Renaissance/Medallion hedge fund, so instead told a story about the people involved. But this leaves the story lacking in the crucial details the reader is wanting.

Gets off topic on other pointless topics
The narration was very well done. It needed to be to get through the book. There were so many sub stories that took up chapters (time). It makes me wonder if it was done just to add length to the story rather than focusing on the main story of the quant revolution.

Another WSJ article...
Rambled on about characters other than Simon. You can tell the author had no access on the inside. Just a lot of “he said” “she said”. Went on about characters background that weren’t that relevant to Simon himself. Lost me when the book went into politics and Trump, no interest after that. Simons name was hardly mentioned in the last part of the book and seems to be all about other executives. This is more of a workplace drama then Simons actual
biography, mindset, and inside look into how he actually ran his fund. I suppose this how the quants would actually have liked the book to go which is ironic to the nature of authors trying to dig every detail out. Quants- 1, another WSJ article- 0.
