Poor Charlie's Almanack

Poor Charlie’s Almanack (2005) delves into the life and investment philosophies of one of the world’s most reclusive billionaires: Charles Munger. As vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Munger has been instrumental in investment decisions that have yielded profits in the billions of dollars. But Munger isn’t only interested in money. In these abstracts, you’ll learn about his inspiring ethical investment philosophy, how he espouses the importance of paying taxes, and how he is a devoted philanthropist, donating money to educational institutions and causes like Planned Parenthood.

Charles Munger studied at Harvard Law School before going on to establish his own successful practice. A chance meeting with Warren Buffet led him to the world of investing, and today, he is the billionaire vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. Poor Charlie’s Almanack is the first compilation of Munger’s investment advice, garnered from the minutes of Berkshire Hathaway board meetings and Munger’s own speeches.
