Book Excerpt! Investing: The Last Liberal Art, by Robert G. Hagstrom (preface)

“Successful investing requires hard work and mental acuity. Investing: The Last Liberal Art allows you to approach the task with a full set of power tools instead of a simple screwdriver. Robert Hagstrom masterfully makes the case for a multi-disciplinary approach and then equips you with a dazzling array of ideas from essential fields of study. I wish I could have read this book 25 years ago.”

~Michael Mauboussin, author of More Than You Know: Finding Financial Wisdom in Unconventional Places
