Roger Murray (1911–1998) was a crucial figure in the history of value investing. A financial professional, economist, adviser to members of Congress, and educator, Murray was the successor to the legendary Benjamin Graham as professor of the securities analysis course at Columbia Business School. There, he mentored generations of students, including Mario Gabelli, Charles Royce, Leon G. Cooperman, and Art Samberg.

This book offers a compelling account of Murray’s multifaceted career alongside a series of remarkable lectures he gave late in his life that encapsulated his philosophy of investing. The investing professionals and educators Paul Johnson and Paul D. Sonkin chronicle Murray’s life and accomplishments, capturing his professional triumphs, theoretical insights, and lasting legacy. They highlight Murray’s educational philosophy and mentorship, including personal recollections from his students about his teaching and influence.

The Enduring Value of Roger Murray features the transcripts of four lectures Murray gave in 1993, hosted by Gabelli, which became legendary in the investing community. These lectures inspired Bruce Greenwald to ask Murray to co-teach a security analysis course, leading to the resurrection of value investing education at Columbia Business School, which had waned after Murray’s retirement in 1977. Annotated by Johnson and Sonkin, these lectures are now available to a wide audience for the first time. They will be illuminating and instructive for all value investing students and practitioners today.

Paul Johnson has been an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School for more than thirty years, teaching courses on value investing and security analysis. He contributed to two Columbia Business School Publishing books, The Most Important Thing Illuminated (2013) and Columbia Business School: A Century of Ideas (2016).

Paul D. Sonkin was a portfolio manager at GAMCO Investors, Inc., where he co-managed the TETON Westwood Mighty Mites Fund, a value fund that primarily invests in micro-cap equity securities. He was for many years an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School and is coauthor of Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond (2001).

Johnson and Sonkin are coauthors of Pitch the Perfect Investment: The Essential Guide to Winning on Wall Street (2017).
