American economist (b. 1939), often called the "father of modern finance" and a Nobel laureate for his empirical work on asset prices. He developed the efficient-markets hypothesis, which holds that prices already reflect available information and that consistently beating the market is nearly impossible. His research is the intellectual backbone of passive investing, diversification, and skepticism toward market timing — themes central to the blog's view of behavioral finance and how ordinary savers should build net worth.
