Nacido: August 28, 1932 – Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Burton G. Malkiel is an American economist and investment writer known for explaining efficient markets, portfolio theory, and long-term index investing to general readers.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
Burton G. Malkiel’s career joined scholarship, public service, and practical finance in a way that gave his writing unusual authority. Born in Boston on August 28, 1932, he attended Boston Latin School, earned a B.A. from Harvard College in 1953 and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1955, then served three years as a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army Finance Corps. After a period at Smith, Barney & Co., he returned to academic economics, completed a Princeton Ph.D. in 1964, and joined the Princeton faculty that same year. Two later turning points widened his influence: service on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers from 1975 to 1977 and his deanship at the Yale School of Organization and Management from 1981 to 1988. Those roles helped make him not only a theorist of markets, but also a public-facing interpreter of how institutions shape investor behavior.
