He spent years beating the market betting against the dot com bubble in the 1990s and the banks before the financial crash in 2008, making blockbuster returns for his investors and earning himself a reputation of the man who made Middle England rich.But, in 2019, after a stream of poorlyjudged investments, Woodfords asset management company collapsed, trapping hundreds of thousands of rainyday savers in his flagship fund and hanging 3.6 billion in the balance. In Built on a Lie, Financial Times reporter Owen Walker reveals the disastrous failings of Woodford, the greed at the heart of his operation, the flaws of an industry in thrall to its star performers and the dangers of limited regulation. With exclusive access to Woodfords inner circle, Walker will reveal the full, jawdropping story of Europes biggest investment scandal in a decade.Vital financial journalism with heart Emma Barnett, broadcaster
