THE FUTURE FOR INVESTORS Break the Conventional Wisdom to Build Your Wealth

A professor at the Wharton School and author of STOCKS FOR THE LONG RUN argues persuasively that tried-and-true companies in the aggregate perform better over time than growth stocks, especially those in the technology sector. He is a buy-and-hold kind of guy who predicts that an unprecedented wave of discovery and innovation will fuel economic growth in the U.S. and provide superior returns for investors who are patient. He looks at a broad array of trends and influences occurring across the globe, including demographics and shifts in labor, manufacturing capacity, and capital. His explanations of his research methods are lucid, fresh, and personal. James Lurie's reading is capable but monochromatic, even for a financial audio.
