| Summary |
"There is no one better qualified to tell us about the failures of the American financial system and the grotesque abuses that have taken place in recent years than John C. Bogle, founder and former chief executive of the Vanguard mutual fund group. This book tells much more than the story about what went wrong. More important, it tells why we lost our way and how we can right our course. The specific reforms Bogle advances in this book are practical and essential, as are his recommendations for assuring that investors receive their fair share of financial market returns."--BOOK JACKET |
