John Bogle, a mutual fund giant and long-time advocate for the little guy, takes a hard-hitting look at everything that ails the financial
system in the United States. From overcompensatedCEOs and overpriced mutual funds to Wall Street research scandals and the
focus on short-term results over long-term gains, Bogle lays bare the truth behind what went wrong with capitalism. He also
highlights the impact that mutual funds and their boards of directors have on the corporate policies of the companies that they run,
and he provides a prescription for how stockholders can exercise their will, reclaim the companies they own and put the financial
system back on track.

When John Mauldin took a look at the future, he didn't see the traditional buy-and-holdmethodology as a viable stock market
strategy. Mauldin highlights the virtues of absolute return investment vehicles such as hedge funds, and old standbys like gold, as
ways to make money in a decade which he predicts will be marked by stagnant markets. Citing factors such as new accounting
standards and rising pension costs, he paints a bleak vision of the future and uses a variety of studies to make a compelling
argument for his outlook and investment approach.
