Summary of When Genius Failed

When Genius Failed is a financial non-fiction book that tells the dramatic story of the rise and collapse of Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM), a highly influential hedge fund in the 1990s. The fund was led by some of the brightest minds in finance, including Nobel Prize-winning economists, and was initially celebrated for its sophisticated mathematical trading strategies. However, despite its intellectual brilliance, LTCM failed spectacularly in 1998 due to excessive leverage, hidden risks, and unexpected market conditions. The book explains how overconfidence in financial models and underestimation of real-world uncertainty led to one of the most dangerous near-collapses in modern financial history, requiring a major bailout by global banks to prevent wider economic damage.
