      abstract = {Based on unprecedented access to the industry, including  three hundred hours of interviews, economist/journalist  Sebastian Mallaby tells the inside story of hedge funds,  from their origins in the 1960s and 1970s to their role in  the financial crisis of 2007-2009. Wealthy, powerful, and  potentially dangerous, hedge fund moguls have become the It  Boys of 21st century capitalism. Ken Griffin started out  trading convertible bonds from his Harvard dorm room;  Julian Robertson staffed his hedge fund with college  athletes half his age; Paul Tudor Jones posed for a  magazine photograph next to a killer shark; Michael  Steinhardt was capable of reducing underlings to sobs.  Finance professors have long argued that beating the market  is impossible, yet drawing on insights from physics,  economics, and psychology, these titans have cracked the  market's mysteries and gone on to earn fortunes. Their  innovation has transformed the world, spawning new markets  in exotic financial instruments and rewriting the rules of  capitalism.--From publisher description.},
