About the Books
Billion Dollar Whale investigates how Malaysian financier Jho Low orchestrated a multibillion-dollar fraud involving the 1MDB state investment fund, implicating major banks, celebrities, and governments along the way. Reported by Wall Street Journal correspondents Hope and Wright, it reads like a thriller while remaining rigorously sourced, and was recognized as a New York Times bestseller and a Best Book of the Year by the Financial Times and Fortune. Bankroll and Boundaries tackles a different, everyday problem: building savings while enjoying a full social life, offering practical strategies for budgeting, spending limits, and resisting the fear of missing out. The Psychology of Stupidity, edited by Marmion, brings together essays from prominent psychologists, including a Nobel Prize winner, exploring why intelligent people fall for misinformation and how cognitive biases distort judgment. Praised internationally as a witty bestseller, it rounds out this set with a lighter look at how the mind can go wrong.
