American investor, lawyer, and vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (1924–2023), the laconic intellectual partner to Warren Buffett. Munger preached a "latticework of mental models" drawn from many disciplines and a relentless cataloguing of human misjudgement — his celebrated talk The Psychology of Human Misjudgment, collected in Poor Charlie's Almanack, prefigured much of academic behavioral economics. His patient, concentrated approach to investing and his insistence on worldly wisdom make him a touchstone for decision-making and rationality on this blog. He championed the power of compound interest, the value of inversion, and the rare discipline of sitting still and doing nothing until a great opportunity arrives.
