Bernard Baruch was a self-made millionaire, legendary stock trader, and venture investor. For most of the first half of the 20th century, he epitomized the good side of Wall Street in the public mind. Celebrated as Adviser to Presidents and The Park Bench Statesman, he also became known as The Man Who Sold out before the Crash. James Grant's much praised biography draws on a wealth of previously untapped material.

James Grant, the author of Mr. Market Miscalculates, among other books, is the founder and editor of Grants Interest Rate Observer. He also writes for The Wall Street Journal and other major media and appears on 60 Minutes and other television shows.
