Books, blogs, letters and articles by and about the people who allocate capital — and about the companies, countries, sectors, assets, business models and themes they allocate it to. Ordered by tier, not by fame; the rule is at the bottom. Every book links to a verified Open Library record.

Type any number of words. An entry is kept only if every word appears somewhere in it — so buffett letters finds Buffett, and lewis flash finds Flash Boys. Words are matched against names, roles, book titles, book authors, notes, article titles, publications and tags. URLs and internal fields are not searched, so a common word like the behaves the way you would expect rather than matching everything.
Order
Prominence for authors is a hand-written ranking inside each tier — Buffett, Graham and Munger before Damodaran. For every other tab it is computed as how much serious literature exists: tier‑1 books count most, then tier‑2, then the total. That is why Equities tops Assets and Berkshire tops Companies. It is a proxy, not a verdict on importance. A–Z ignores all of that and sorts by name.
Links
Every entry has its own URL. Open one and the address bar shows something like #companies/enron — send that link and it opens straight to that entry. Tags at the foot of an author entry link across to the company, person or sector they name.
Tier
Tier ranks how canonical the work is: 1 is a primary source others build on, 2 a serious track record plus a book that outlived its news cycle, 3 well regarded in one corner of the field, 4 narrow or technical. Every book row carries its badge.
Selecting a tier filters the books, not the headings. On By person, choosing tier 1 shows Warren Buffett with only his tier‑1 biographies, and drops anyone whose books are all lower. On By author the same filter applies to the author's own tier, since their books inherit it. Select several tiers to widen the range; clear removes the filter.
