SPEAKER

William Berstein, Ph.D, MD  | Bill Bernstein is a recovering neurologist who has of late helped co-found Efficient Frontier Advisors and has written several titles on finance and economic history. Although his early formative training in economics was confined to brief stints in the US Postal Service during college Christmas breaks, his three finance books, The Intelligent Asset Allocator, The Four Pillars of Investing, and The Investor’s Manifesto, as well as the content on his Website, efficientfrontier.com, have made him uncomfortably popular with the press.

Bill is also a big believer in the value of the creative nonfiction process in helping to organize his leisure-time reading. Over the past few decades, he has written two volumes of economic history, The Birth of Plenty (McGraw-Hill, 2004) and A Splendid Exchange (Atlantic Monthly Press, 2008), the former about the economic growth inflection of the early nineteenth century, and the latter a wide-angle look at the history of world trade, the latter of which was short-listed for the 2008 Goldman-Sachs-Financial Times Award and was listed as a 2008 best business books by the Economist. Two more history books, Masters of the Word and The Delusions of Crowds, also from Atlantic Monthly Press, explore the effects of access to technology on human relations and politics and the history and social psychology of mass manias. He was also the 2017 winner of the CFA Institute’s James R. Vertin Award. Back To Top ^^
