Passion for Reality : The Extraordinary Life of the Investing Pioneer Paul Cabot
Michael R. Yogg
All advisors interested in the development of their craft will profit from - and richly enjoy - this lovely book. As Michael R. Yogg makes clear in his readable, short biography, 'Passion for Reality,' Paul Cabot was a central figure in the remarkable 20th century democratization of capitalism Recommended for those who like business biographies of successful men living in interesting time. from the foreword by John C. Bogle, Founder and former CEO, the Vanguard Group:This book is thoroughly researched, comprehensive, candid, elegantly written, and eminently readable. I applaud it as a vital link to returning the mutual fund industry to the high fiduciary standards that were once its hallmark. Glyn A. Holton, author of Value at Risk: Theory and Practice:Anyone who works in the mutual fund industry will want to read this compelling biography of Paul Cabot, a Boston Brahmin and cofounder of one of the first mutual funds. Read about early stock pickers at a time when markets were unregulated and sufficiently inefficient so that outperforming was as easy as visiting a few corporations and asking questions. Then there was the 1929 crash and Depression-era regulation. Cabot's life provides a front row seat. Highly recommended! Bernard Bailyn, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, Harvard University:Passion for Reality is a special kind of social history, a piece of Harvard's history, and a compelling biographical study, but above all it is a history of major financial developments. And it is a very readable book. Harry Markopolos, financial fraud investigator, author of No One Would Listen
