2 Comments on “Seth Klarman: 32 Books That Every Investor Should Read”
I believe that at least one of these books was published after 2010
Thanks Doug. In addition to naming specific books, Seth Klarman said anything from Jim Grant, Roger Lowenstein, and Michael Lewis. So I picked a number of books from these authors.
