Books by John C. Bogle

John C. Bogle (1929–2019) founded The Vanguard Group in 1974 and launched the first retail index fund for individual investors in 1976, an idea that was widely ridiculed at the time. He served as Vanguard's chairman and CEO until 1996. In addition to The Little Book of Common Sense Investing, he wrote Common Sense on Mutual Funds, Don't Count On It, and The Clash of the Cultures. His persistent advocacy for low-cost investing over five decades reshaped the mutual fund industry, and the shift of trillions of dollars into index funds is largely a product of his influence. Time magazine named him one of the most powerful people in the twentieth century in the field of finance.
