More Money Than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite is a non-fiction book written by Sebastian Mallaby that explores the history, rise, and impact of hedge funds on the financial industry and the broader economy. The book begins with a brief overview of the origins of hedge funds and how they evolved over time, and then goes on to delve into the lives and careers of some of the most successful hedge fund managers, including George Soros, Paul Tudor Jones, and Ken Griffin. Mallaby examines the various strategies and tactics these individuals employed to achieve their financial success, and the controversies and challenges they faced along the way.

In addition to profiling these high-profile hedge fund managers, Mallaby also discusses the broader implications of the growth of hedge funds, including their role in financial market instability, their influence on the overall economy, and their impact on the distribution of wealth and power. He traces the evolution of hedge funds from their humble beginnings in the 1950s and 1960s to their current status as major players in the financial world, and explores the various factors that have contributed to their rise.

One of the key themes of the book is the idea that hedge funds represent a new form of elite, one that is not bound by traditional notions of class or status, but rather is defined by its ability to generate wealth and wield influence. Mallaby argues that this new elite is changing the way the world works, and that its rise has important implications for society as a whole.
