SINOPSIS

Selected for the Financial Times / McKinsey Business Book of the Year award

The incredible story of a secret mathematician who pioneered the age of the algorithm and made $ 23 billion doing it.

Jim Simons is the greatest money generator in modern financial history. No other investor (Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, Steve Cohen or George Soros) can touch his record. Since 1988, Renaissance's exclusive Medallion fund has generated an average annual return of 66 percent. The firm has made profits of more than $ 100 billion; Simons is worth twenty-three billion dollars.

Drawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees, Zuckerman, a veteran investigative reporter for the Wall Street Journal, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former codebreaker dominated the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven algorithmic approach that is sweeping the world.

As Renaissance became a market force, its executives began to influence the world beyond finance. Simons became an important figure in scientific research, education, and liberal politics. Senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone for the Trump presidency, putting Steve Bannon in the campaign and funding Trump's winning effort in 2016. Mercer also impacted the campaign behind Brexit.

The man who solved the market is a portrait of a modern Midas who remade markets in his own image, but could not anticipate how his success would affect his company and his country. It is also a story of what Simons' revolution means to the rest of us.
