Summary |
This book is being published at an extraordinary time. The financial markets and the economy in the United States have been through a remarkably destabilizing period. Today we are evaluating the damage, seeking to understand the root causes, and thinking about how public policy should be adjusted for the future.
In this book, the authors take in-depth look at six of the fields driving the economy, many of which were key actors in this recent drama: investment banking, venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, management consulting, and the management of important U.S. corporations. The perspectives and conclusions offered are the result of scores of interviews with the most important and knowledgeable people in each of these areas. This unusual access, combined with the authors’ clear analysis, provides an excellent narrative for all types of readers.
