Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist

Why this matters here

Lowenstein’s biography traces how Buffett’s long record of successful investment decisions became a reputation that continued to attract investor trust into future commitments. When Trust Stops Tracking Reality uses that momentum as one case of trust behaving differently from fresh evidence: accumulated confidence makes the next act of trust easier. The source narrates reputation built from a track record; the book asks when inherited credibility still tracks reality and when it merely extends itself.
