Vol. 13, Issue 1 Buffett The Making of an American Capitalist By: Roger Lowenstein 490 pp. Random House 1995 Review by: Lydia Morris Brown

Lowenstein analyzes all Buffett’s investments, he explains the history and psychology of Wall Street, and he provides facts and figures in lucid detail. But most importantly, he explores the man behind the investments with commitment and integrity. Buffett is a landmark portrait of a uniquely American life-a portrait that offers an enthralling, precisely documented, full-fleshed characterization of an American icon. It is a work that should be required reading in every business curriculum, for it relates directly to the current and future interests of individual and corporate investors throughout America. It is Buffett’s "genius of character-of patience, discipline, and rationality," and its rarity in the heat of financial passions of this century that make this work such an important tutorial on American business and investing.
