Books by William J. Bernstein

William J. Bernstein is a retired neurologist who became one of the most respected voices in evidence-based investing. He founded Efficient Frontier Advisors and has written extensively on the history of finance and investment theory, including The Four Pillars of Investing, The Birth of Plenty, and A Splendid Exchange. His work is grounded in financial history and academic research rather than market forecasting. Bernstein writes for ordinary investors but does not condescend — his books assume readers can handle data and argument. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
