Summary

Bogle founded Vanguard Mutual Fund Group in 1974 and is considered one of the countries financial legends by magazines such as Fortune and Time. In this text, he argues that the ongoing greed infecting America's financial system and corporate world is about more than just money--not knowing what enough is has also corrupted professional values. Inspired by hundreds of lectures he has delivered to professional groups and college students in recent years, Bogle presents a collection of essays examining what constitutes "enough" in the world of money, business, and life, and calls for a return to core values.
