About this book

Capital Ideas Evolving updates Peter Bernstein's 1992 work Capital Ideas to chronicle major developments in financial markets since that time. The book examines a significant shift in investment practice driven by complex mathematics, derivatives, hedging, and active trading strategies. Bernstein traces how key finance theories developed in academic settings have been applied by portfolio managers in practice. The work covers the intellectual history of Wall Street and the principal figures who shaped modern investment theory and its real-world implementation in capital markets.
