Alice Schroeder talked about her book, The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, published by Bantam. She talked about how she came to write the book, her research process, and she responded to questions from the audience. The book recounts the life of Warren Buffett, famed investor and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. Mr. Buffett, who has never written a book and does not intend to, gave the author unfettered access to his family and friends, and served as collaborator on his life story. Ms. Schroeder follows Mr. Buffett’s financial career, his business acumen, and his modest upbringing and current lifestyle; he lives in Omaha, Nebraska in the same home that he purchased in 1958.

Alice Schroeder was formerly the managing director at Morgan Stanley and a Wall Street analyst. close
