Media Reviews

William Goetzmann and Roger Ibbotson have produced a searching and comprehensive analysis of how history reveals the forces that shape risk and return in the stock market. But HURRAH! their work is also eminently readable. All investors, economic historians, and financial academics should read this book-and hurry up about it. * Peter L. Bernstein, Publisher of Economics and Portfolio Strategy and Consulting Editor of The Journal of Portfolio Management *
