Adam Smith continues to dazzle and sparkle! With the passage
of time, Supermoney has, if anything, added to its power to
inspire, arouse, provoke, motivate, inform, illuminate, entertain,
and guide a whole new generation of readers, while marvelously
reprising the global money show for earlier fans."
David M. Darst, author of The Art of Asset Allocation Managing
Director and Chief Investment Strategist, Morgan Stanley Individual
Investor Group
"Nobody has written about the craft of money management with more
insight, humor, and understanding than Adam Smith. Over the years,
he has consistently separated wisdom from whimsy, brilliance from
bluster, and character from chicanery."
Byron R. Wien, coauthor of Soros on Soros Chief Investment
Strategist, Pequot Capital Management
Supermoney may be even more relevant today than when it was first
published nearly twenty-five years ago. Written in the bright and
funny style that became Adam Smith''s trademark, this book gives a
view inside institutions, professionals, and the nature of markets
that has rarely been shown before or since. "Adam Smith" was the
first to introduce an obscure fund manager in Omaha, Nebraska,
named Warren Buffett. In this new edition, Smith provides a fresh
perspective in an updated Preface that contextualizes the
applicability of the markets of the 1960s and 1970s to today''s
markets. Things change, but sometimes the more they change, the
more they stay the same.

“Everyone who is anyone in U.S. investment knows ‘ADAM SMITH,’
” wrote Newsweek. While originally he had a fanatic
following in the financial community, his reputation has now spread
far beyond. Professor Paul Samuelson, America’s first Nobel
laureate in economics, called his book, The Money Game, “a
modern classic.”
