Reviews

"[T]he bright light shed by "More Money Than God" is particularly welcome. Mr. Mallaby... brings a keen sense of financial theory to his subject and a vivid narrative style."
-"The Wall Street Journal"
"[S]plendid ... the definitive history of the hedge fund history, a compelling narrative full of larger-than-life characters and dramatic tales of their financial triumphs and reversals... Mallaby weaves into his narrative just the right amount of economic theory and market history, and he has a wonderful knack for explaining complex trading strategies in simple and elegant prose."
-"The Washington Post"
"[A] splendid account of the ups and downs of an industry in which few of the twenty-something hedge-fund wannabes know their history. They, and meddling politicians, should read this book before they are condemned to repeat it."
-"The Financial Times"
"Mallaby's book is informative and entertaining..."
-"Newsweek"
""More Money Than God" is an expert primer on America's most obscenely lucrative investment tool... [Mallaby is] incisive, informative, and as good a financial writer as he is a storyteller."
-NPR's "All Things Considered"
"In MORE MONEY THAN GOD, his smart history of the hedge fund business, Mallaby does more than explain how finance's richest moguls made their loot. He argues that the obsessive, charismatic oddballs of the hedge fund world are Wall Street's future-and possibly its salvation."
-"The New York Times Book Review"
"Sebastian Mallaby's history of hedge funds is well written, smart, and balanced."
-Greg Mankiw,
"Sebastian Mallaby's in-depth research and clear writing style is engaging... With great insight into the lucrative world of hedge funds, "More Money Than God" is one of the best, most engrossing of the current financial books."
-"The Finance Professional's Post" (A publication of the New York Society of Security Analysts)
"[A] superb book"
