The Little Book That Builds Wealth, written by Pat Dorsey, director of equity research at Morningstar, explains why firms with durable competitive advantages—defined as economic moats—often deliver superior long‑term returns. He identifies four key sources of moats—intangible assets, cost advantages, customer‑switching costs, and network economics—and demonstrates how each can be evaluated through investment analysis. The book provides a clear, step‑by‑step method for applying moat analysis to individual securities, helping investors build a resilient, growth‑oriented portfolio.
