The Dao of Capital : Austrian Investing in a Distorted World
Mark Spitznagel & Ron Paul · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Jeremy Arthur
82/100
👍 Worth It
Spitznagel earns his stripes here — this isn't armchair theorizing, it's Austrian economics and patient positioning from a hedge fund manager who's actually lived it, dressed up with forestry, Sun Tzu, and Daoist philosophy. It's a dense, ambitious read that rewards investors willing to slow down, and Jeremy Arthur's narration keeps the business-nonfiction delivery clean and listenable throughout.
