Reviews"This compilation of John C. Bogle's essays on indexing, fiduciary responsibility, and corporate governance, together with transcripts of talks and discussions, is a fitting tribute to the founder of the Vanguard Group, who has consistently advocated putting clients' interests first and has tirelessly imparted the message that investors would be far wealthier if they invested in low-cost index funds....The world would be a better place if more of our business and political leaders emulated John Bogle's values, ethics, and integrity." -- CFA Institute

SynopsisThe importance of the life's work of mutual fund pioneer and investing legend John C. Bogle The Man in the Arena offers the essence of John C. Bogle's thinking and the meaning of his life's work, which transformed individual investing to benefit tens of millions of investors. Through Bogle's own words--as well as the voices of others whose hearts and minds he touched--the book touches on topics he cares about most deeply: Vanguard, indexing, corporate governance, and a fiduciary society. From Vanguard shareholders to true giants in finance, one cannot read their words without being struck by their sheer intensity. Bogle's parade of admirers is passionate. It is led by, arguably, the two most acclaimed leaders of our day--in the world of investing and the public life of the world--Warren Buffett and President Bill Clinton. The book is a first take at putting Bogle's life work into a broader context. It includes some of Bogle's classic essays and leads to an agenda of reform Bogle feels is essential to preserve our democratic republic. It features insight on the man from such commentators as Arthur Levitt, Burton Malkiel, Paul Volcker, and many more. Features wisdom and commentary on the career and life of legendary investor John C. Bogle Presents a summary of Bogle's prominent and successful career, as well as his investing strategies Includes commentary from a Who's Who of top investors, The importance of the life's work of mutual fund pioneer and investing legend John C. Bogle The Man in the Arena offers the essence of John C. Bogle's thinking and the meaning of his life's work, which transformed individual investing to benefit tens of millions of investors., Praise for The MAN in the ARENA "A thoroughly impressive tribute to the very best friend the investor has ever had." Ben Stein "A measure of a person's life is this: Did you leave the world a better place? In the case of Jack Bogle, it's a question that is laughably easy to answer. From millions of ordinary investors, you would hear a rousing chorus of feetstomping, stadiumshaking cheers. And those cheers are richly deserved, as you'll discover when reading about 'The Man in the Arena' and all that he has done for his fellow citizens." Jonathan Clements , former personal finance columnist for the Wall Street Journal and author of The Little Book of Main Street Money "Jack Bogle is one of a small handful of people who made the investing world serve the hopes and dreams of ordinary people. Whatever his subject, he speaks and writes from a strong, moral belief that finance should be simple, honest, and fair." Jane Bryant Quinn author of Making the Most of Your Money Now
