Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
More Money Than God : Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite
Sebastian Mallaby · 2010
🎙 Narrated by Alan Nebelthau
88/100
👍 Worth It
Penny here — this is the real deal, 300 hours of interviews turned into a gripping history of hedge funds and the outsized personalities who built them, and the reception backs me up: the Washington Post called it the definitive history of the industry. It's dense with names and numbers, so it rewards listeners who already know a little finance, and Alan Nebelthau narrates it with the gravity the material deserves.
