The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend by Rob Copeland
5.0
Truly epic takedown. I would be curious to hear the argument for the defense - why was he able to succeed as he did? Is it just an earlier version of Sam Bankman-Fried - greed meets soothing nonsensical patter?
But thoroughly enjoyable read. Will tickle your billionaire distaste - at least it did mine. Additionally meaningful to me having spent my career at a high end consulting firm (non-financial, though) known for the brilliance of the staff (with the egos, arrogance and pet theories that go with it).
I read one of Dalio's books and came away scratching my head - either it was some fairly shallow and useless pablum or it was over my head (although I felt the same way about the book I read by George Soros).
