But we saved everything 🙂.
Clifford Asness, well-known for his work in quantitative finance, recounted the timeline of his efforts to write a book on value investing which began near the peak of the dot-com bubble. He noted that the draft was not ready until October 2000, with significant bear market conditions still ahead and a notable period for value investors yet to unfold. Asness ultimately decided not to proceed with completing the book.
Asness has previously commented on the ongoing debate within finance regarding stakeholder capitalism. In a separate discussion, he compared conservatism, liberalism, and historical political models, including references to U.K. Labor and Milton Friedman in his analysis of ideological shifts. These topics reflect his broader engagement with themes beyond quantitative investing.
