The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend By Rob Copeland

"The Fund" exposes the untold story of Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates. Rob Copeland, an award-winning New York Times journalist, challenges the carefully-crafted narrative of Dalio as a benevolent business titan. The book unveils the dark side of Dalio's "radical transparency," revealing a toxic culture of paranoia and backstabbing behind the scenes.

Dalio's departure from Bridgewater, a hedge fund that grew to be the largest globally, prompted Copeland to lift the veil on the pain caused by Dalio's proclaimed principles. Drawing from extensive interviews with insiders and around the firm, "The Fund" takes readers into a world of wealth and power. It offers an unflinching look at Dalio's influential connections, from former FBI director Jim Comey to Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick.

The narrative unfolds as a cautionary tale, challenging the notion that financial success unlocks the principles of human nature. Copeland provides a page-turning journey, exposing the contradictions between Dalio's public image and the internal realities at Bridgewater.

"The Fund" stands as a stranger-than-fiction exploration of the psychological and moral limits of those entangled in Dalio's charismatic leadership and the consequences of pursuing success at any cost. 📚❤️
