John Bogle??s journey from financial-industry pioneer to one of its toughest critics

What began as an intellectual pursuit would turn into Bogle??s life mission. The House That Bogle Built chronicles the years of Bogle??s development from college whiz kid into a titan of the mutual fund industry and shareholder advocate??highlighting his creation of the Vanguard Group and the Vanguard 500 Index Fund and his frequent battles to shake up the status quo.
