"Vanguard has grown to become the world's largest no-load mutual fund organization and by far the world's lowest-cost provider of financial services to independent investors. But far more than its unprecedented size and remarkable rate of growth, it is Vanguard's concern for the rights of the independent investor that mark it as the most truly progressive company in the mutual fund industry." "And its founder, John Bogle, is that industry's greatest visionary.".
"Character Counts presents Bogle at his most straightforward and unvarnished, through the words and ideas of forty-two actual speeches - complete with newly written commentary - that he has given to Vanguard crew members since Vanguard's founding in 1974."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
Vanguard has introduced generations of independent investors to the wealth-building might of the U.S. stock market. But it owes its existence to the visionary genius and dogged tenacity of one man—John C. Bogle, one of the last of a breed of principled and unbending financial legends.Over the years, Bogle’s prescient and fiery speeches to the burgeoning Vanguard staff have also become legend. Character Counts collects those speeches in one volume. More than just an insider’s portrait of the reasons behind Vanguard’s remarkable success, however, it is a fascinating oral history of the too-long-in-coming empowerment of America’s independent investor—and the take-no-prisoners attitude of the man who dedicated his life to making it happen.
