This episode explores the remarkable story of Vanguard, a financial giant that operates like a communist organization within American capitalism. Founded by Jack Bogle after he was fired, Vanguard's unique mutual ownership structure has no shareholders and returns all profits to investors through lower fees, transferring hundreds of billions from Wall Street to retail savers. The narrative traces Bogle's journey from a childhood shaped by the Great Depression to creating the first index fund for individual investors, a revolutionary idea that faced immense early struggles before transforming the entire investment industry.
