John Bogle

John Bogle is referenced in E44 李晓波对话孟岩：这次，就这样吧？ through Vanguard and the question of whether a founder knows where “enough” is. Meng Yan / 孟岩 treats Bogle less as a generic index-fund hero and more as an example of founder character, governance, and restraint in a financial industry where extracting more from customers is often technically possible.

The source connects Bogle to Knowing Enough, Passive Investing, and customer-aligned financial institutions. His role in this ingest is to anchor the episode’s claim that investor-friendly products require both economic structure and a founder culture able to resist higher take rate.
