From one of the greatest money managers Canada has ever known,The Investment Zoois an incisive work in which history, culture, politics and finance are intermingled. Stephen A. Jarislowsky has had a single goal throughout his career: the defence of the shareholder. He has been outspoken in his criticism of breaches in ethics: overpaid bosses, directors who close their eyes to questionable practices, grossly over-compensated lawyers, and brokers who inflate their commissions by encouraging unnecessary trading. InThe Investment Zoo, Stephen A. Jarislowsky reveals his approach to investment the approach that has assured his extraordinary success in business and discusses a host of subjects that touch him personally: his own path from childhood to adult life, his vision as an administrator, and his involvement in responsible philanthropy. At age 79, the incorruptible billionaire has lost none of the spirit that has so often aroused controversy. The Investment Zoowas published in Quebec to great acclaim. Since January 2005, it has sold over 15,000 copies, and has pushed the French edition ofThe Da Vinci Codeout of the number one position on the bestseller list.Jarislowsky, Stephen is the author of 'Investment Zoo Taming the Bulls And the Bears', published 2005 under ISBN 9782894722596 and ISBN 2894722591.
