In the 1950s, who but the most rampant optimist would have dreamed that over the next fifty years the real return on equities would be 9 percent per year? Yet this is what happened in the U.S. stock market. The optimists triumphed. However, as Don Marquis observed, an optimist is someone who never had much experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors of \u003cem\u003eTriumph of the Optimists\u003c\/em\u003e extend our experience across regions and across time. They present a comprehensive and consistent analysis of investment returns for equities, bonds, bills, currencies, and inflation spanning sixteen countries from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first. This is achieved in a clear and simple way, with over 130 color diagrams that make comparison easy. Crucially, the authors analyze total returns, including reinvested income.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey show that some historical indexes overstate long-term performance because they are contaminated by survivorship bias and that long-term stock returns are in most countries seriously overestimated, because of a focus on periods that with hindsight are known to have been successful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also provides the first comprehensive evidence on the long-term equity risk premium - the reward for bearing the risk of common stocks. The authors reveal whether the United States and United Kingdom have had unusually high stock market returns compared to other countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book covers the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Australia, The Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Ireland, Denmark, and South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTriumph of the Optimists\u003c\/em\u003e is required reading for investment professionals, financial economists, and investors.
