About this episode
If there was ever an industry where history repeats itself, finance is at the top of the list. Russell Napier has worked in investing for over 30 years. He’s written exceptional books, including “The Anatomy of the Bear” and “The Asian Financial Crisis.” He’s the Founder and Course Director for the Practical History of Financial Markets, an online course at the Edinburgh Business School.
In 2014, he founded the charitable venture, “The Library of Mistakes,” a business and financial history library based in Scotland with branches in India and Switzerland. They recently threw their “Mistake of the Year Awards.” Listen to our conversation to learn from the mistakes that were made so that history doesn’t have to repeat itself.
