Jack D. Schwager Audiobooks

Jack D. Schwager, born in 1948, is a financial trader and author, and one of the most trusted chroniclers of the trading world. He is a fund manager and a recognised industry expert in futures and hedge funds, but his lasting reputation rests on the Market Wizards books.

The series began with Market Wizards in 1989 and continued with The New Market Wizards in 1992, Stock Market Wizards in 2001 and Unknown Market Wizards: The Best Traders You’ve Never Heard Of in 2020. Across three decades, the project has remained the same: finding the people who genuinely beat the markets and working out what, if anything, they have in common. It is a rare example of finance writing that has stayed relevant across wildly different market eras.

Schwager works brilliantly in audio because his books are built on voices: traders telling their own stories, with Schwager as the sharp, informed interrogator. In our catalogue, Stock Market Wizards captures the equity traders of its era, while Unknown Market Wizards makes the case that some of the best performers operate far from the spotlight.

A frank note for UK listeners: these are not get-rich-quick manuals, and anyone listening for shortcuts will be disappointed. What they offer instead is more valuable – a patient education in discipline, risk and the psychology of decision-making under uncertainty.
