Description of Latticework |
Knowledge can be rightly understood only in its context. The world - and the markets in particular - are far too complex to be understood with isolated facts and figures. According to investment experts such as Charles Munger (Warren Buffett's right-hand man), an investor must work with multiple models patched together in a "latticework" form. This title offers a unique picture of the investment world within the larger world. It aligns and explains how investment mangement works in the context of the jor theories in other complex systems: biology, economics, mathematics, philosophy, physics and psychology. In doing so, it aims to revolutionize ways of thinking about investment by showing investors a much broader picture of the market and its behaviour. This latticework is the next leap forward in helping investors understand how stock markets work and how to become extraordinarily successful.

Reviews'I read this book in one sitting. I could not put it down. At a time when many scholars see the stock market as little more than a casino, Hagstrom's luminous wisdom bestows upon the whole process of investing a degree of dignity that it richly deserves and seldom receives.'
Peter Bernstein
'Any investor who doesn't come away from Latticework with some new ideas simply isn't human.'
Kenneth Fisher
