" --The New Yorker (Best Books of 2023) "An unsettling exposé of a leading investment fund.A vivid portrait of soul-killing micromanagement in a ruthless corporate setting." -- Kirkus "A jaw-dropping narrative.Financial reporter Rob Copeland has written a book that blows apart the mystique of Bridgewater and the man at its center. The Fund manages the improbable task of living up to its strapline of ''unravelling'' a Wall Street legend." --Financial Times "Weird. Dalio may be anxious for the rest of us to move on from this book. But it offers a rare, vivid, and disturbing glimpse at a hedge fund that seems to have leaned too far into crafting a corporate culture.
And much of that history has been kept a secret until now." --Fortune "Copeland''s gripping book exposes the cult-like culture at Ray Dalio''s Bridgewater Associates." --Spear''s "An epic page-turner.reads like the slimmest of thrillers." --The Messenger "A hedge fund horror story." --The Australian "A page-turning portrait of a bully and bullshit artist--and, more fundamentally, a damning indictment of the elite compulsion to conflate wealth with genius." --The Lever > "An epic page-turner.reads like the slimmest of thrillers.
