The Berkshire Hathaway Reader's Guide: Shareholder Letters, Books, and Interviews

Ranked letters, annual meeting highlights, and books on Berkshire's model—beside FTN's Buffett, Munger, and Berkshire playbooks.

Berkshire Hathaway is the longest-running experiment in patient capital allocation: insurance float as permanent leverage, decentralised management, and a CEO who writes like a teacher. FTN's Buffett, Munger, and Berkshire playbooks map decisions; this list supplies the primary and secondary sources.
