The Case for Dividend Growth : Investing in a Post-Crisis World

David L. Bahnsen Β· 2020
πŸŽ™ Narrated by Walter Dixon
71/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Bahnsen makes a coherent, practitioner-grounded case for living off dividends rather than selling assets in retirement, and the dual focus on accumulation and withdrawal phases gives it real utility for income-minded investors. The central weakness is that the active-selection premise contradicts robust academic evidence on passive indexing, so readers looking for empirical rigor will feel the gap. Walter Dixon's competent narration keeps the argument clear and is worth choosing over print if you're commuting through the philosophy.
