The Investors’ Council

Munger preaches patience and inverting the problem; Smith and Friedman argue over what markets do to people; Keynes answers with what people do to markets; Morgan financed his way through panics the others only theorized about. Bring a money decision — an investment, a risk, a fear — and hear it stress-tested by five minds who rarely agree and are all worth hearing.

Who’s seated

Portrait of Charlie Munger

Charlie Munger

1924–2023 · United States

Berkshire Hathaway's vice-chairman and the great apostle of multidisciplinary thinking: mental models, inversion, and the patience to wait decades for the fat pitch. He read so much his children called him a book with legs.

Portrait of Adam Smith

Adam Smith

1723–1790 · Scotland

Moral philosopher first, economist second: The Theory of Moral Sentiments explained sympathy; The Wealth of Nations explained markets, specialization, and why nations prosper. Both books are about the same thing — how self-interested humans cooperate.

Portrait of Milton Friedman

Milton Friedman

1912–2006 · United States

Nobel economist and the century's most effective advocate for free markets — monetarism, the volunteer army, school choice — who could dismantle an opposing argument on television with a smile and a question.

Portrait of J. Pierpont Morgan

J. Pierpont Morgan

1837–1913 · United States

The banker whose word was collateral: he financed Edison, assembled U.S. Steel, and twice — 1895 and 1907 — personally stopped national financial panics by locking the money men in his library until they agreed.

Portrait of John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes

1883–1946 · Britain

British economist whose General Theory reshaped economics and government policy, arguing that active management of demand could tame depressions. A key architect of the post-war Bretton Woods order and a successful investor, he combined theory with practice.
