Story
In March 2006, the world’s richest men sipped champagne in an opulent New York hotel. They were preparing to compete in a poker tournament with million-dollar stakes. At the card table that night was Peter Muller, who managed a fabulously successful hedge fund called PDT. With him was Ken Griffin, who was the tough-as-nails head of Citadel Investment Group. There, too, were Cliff Asness, the sharp-tongued, mercurial founder of the hedge fund AQR Capital Management, and Boaz Weinstein, chess “life master” and king of the credit-default swap.

The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish.

It is the story of how a handful of swashbuckling businessmen became indispensable cogs in global markets: enabling an enormous expansion in international trade and connecting resource-rich countries - no matter how corrupt or war-torn - with the world's financial centres.

In his first book for a general audience, Mandelbrot, with co-author Richard L.

As he did for the physical world in his classic The Fractal Geometry of Nature, Mandelbrot here uses fractal geometry to propose a new, more accurate way of describing market behavior.

Hungarian by birth, Nicolas Darvas trained as an economist at the University of Budapest. Reluctant to remain in Hungary until either the Nazis or the Soviets took over, he fled at the age of 23 with a forged exit visa and 50 pounds sterling to stave off hunger in Istanbul, Turkey. During his off hours, he read some 200 books on the market and speculators, studying as much as eight hours a day. Darvas invested his money into some of stocks that had been hitting their 52-week high. He was surprised that the stocks continued to rise and subsequently sold them to make a large profit.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best seller
Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award
The perfect gift for the avid reader on your list: the unbelievable story of a secretive mathematician who pioneered the era of the algorithm - and made $23 billion doing it.
Jim Simons is the greatest money maker in modern financial history. No other investor - Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, Steve Cohen, or George Soros - can touch his record. Since 1988, Renaissance's signature Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66 percent. The firm has earned profits of more than $100 billion; Simons is worth 23 billion dollars.
Drawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees, Zuckerman, a veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former code breaker mastered the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven, algorithmic approach that's sweeping the world.
As Renaissance became a market force, its executives began influencing the world beyond finance. Simons became a major figure in scientific research, education, and liberal politics. Senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency, placing Steve Bannon in the campaign and funding Trump's victorious 2016 effort. Mercer also impacted the campaign behind Brexit.
The Man Who Solved the Market is a portrait of a modern-day Midas who remade markets in his own image, but failed to anticipate how his success would impact his firm and his country. It's also a story of what Simons' revolution means for the rest of us.
Includes a PDF of Appendices 1 and 2 with charts
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
What the critics say
"A gripping biography of investment game changer Jim Simons...readers looking to understand how the economy got where it is should eat this up." (Publishers Weekly)
"Worthwhile reading for budding plutocrats and numerate investors alike." (Kirkus)
"Zuckerman vividly tells the story of how Jim Simons and his team of scientists developed the most successful quantitative trading operation in history.... Immensely enjoyable." (Edward O. Thorp, author of A Man for All Markets)

Good book, can't get much details of the how to
The book is a good window into the early days of quantz and trading. But obviously Renaissance is so secretive it doesn't really give much details of the how to, just how things progressed. There's also a very political chapter at the end which doesn't have much to do with Simons nor Renaissance.

Very interesting insights
Like most readers of the book. I want to find out if there is a way to crack the market. It seems they found it. Even tho I wonder if using the modern day ML algorithms we can do something similar, without a doubt I know it’s not a one man job. It requires dedications and lucks of very sophisticated professionals in the field. It’s humbling to know how they reached what they achieved today and the chemical reactions of different inputs and personalities. Thanks for the inside view and the candid sharing of those involved.

Thorough, thought-provoking, inspiring
Zuckerman has an ability to turn what could have been a boring story about a bunch of math PhDs into an academic adventure. I thought he did an excellent job showing the persistence and dedication Simons and his team had to achieving greatest in the financial industry. I was surprise by how many people were responsible for the funds success. I have only one major critique: non-fictional work should avoid some of the political opinions given especially nearing the end of the book. You did a great job collect facts and pursuing accurate details, why ruin that effort with politics and subjective opinion.

Not worth it
The book could be an interesting story about really smart, focused people who first figure out and then capitalize on inefficiencies in investing markets.
Unfortunately, the author can’t help him self and you are repeatedly subjected to the authors political biases. Congratulations on your biases. It did nothing to illuminate the story, make it more real or increase its relevancy to the central premise: smart people who figured out the markets.

Another WSJ article...
Rambled on about characters other than Simon. You can tell the author had no access on the inside. Just a lot of “he said” “she said”. Went on about characters background that weren’t that relevant to Simon himself. Lost me when the book went into politics and Trump, no interest after that. Simons name was hardly mentioned in the last part of the book and seems to be all about other executives. This is more of a workplace drama then Simons actual
biography, mindset, and inside look into how he actually ran his fund. I suppose this how the quants would actually have liked the book to go which is ironic to the nature of authors trying to dig every detail out. Quants- 1, another WSJ article- 0.

Short of details
I don’t think Zuckerman had enough of a story to tell about the Renaissance/Medallion hedge fund, so instead told a story about the people involved. But this leaves the story lacking in the crucial details the reader is wanting.

It's Okay - Big Head Fake Here
Narrator is great
Story is okay but deviates to smear Bob Mercer and covers, in detail, the story of a particular employee. It barely covers the nuts and bolts of Quant trading operations. It's never super deep.
Oddly, there is the fired former-employee named David Magerman that was super open to the writer and gave much content. So the last 2 of 3 chapters are about Magerman, his angst, and his therapy needs. Weird.
This book contains 25% about Jim Simons and early collaborators, 50% about Quant trading, and 25% about Magermann. So, you have to endure 50% personal stuff to get to the trading content. The personal content is like reading People Magazine,

Fascinating, but a bit biased
The book is mostly a well researched expose on the life of James Simons, the math professor who became one of the pioneers of quantitative investing. But the latter portion of the book was devoted to Bob Mercer, a Simons protege who harbored Republican political views. The author has a clear bias against conservative views and President Trump which was evident towards the end. Basically, the author believes that Mercer--who is a Republican--must be stopped and isn't allowed to have conservative political views while holding a top job at the company. And everyone else, who are Democrats--including Simons himself--are completely fine.

The narration was very well done. It needed to be to get through the book. There were so many sub stories that took up chapters (time). It makes me wonder if it was done just to add length to the story rather than focusing on the main story of the quant revolution.
