Hagstrom is one of the best-known authors of investment books for general audiences. Turning his extensive experience as a portfolio manager at Legg Mason Capital Management into valuable guidance for professionals and nonprofessionals alike, he is the author of six successful books on investment, including \u003cem\u003eThe Warren Buffett Way\u003c\/em\u003e, a New York Times best-seller that has sold more than a million copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this updated second edition of \u003cem\u003eInvesting: The Last Liberal Art\u003c\/em\u003e, Hagstrom explores basic and fundamental investing concepts in a range of fields outside of economics, including physics, biology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and literature. He discusses, for instance, how the theory of evolution disrupts the notion of the efficient market and how reading strategies for literature can be gainfully applied to investing research.
