King of Capital: The Remarkable Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of Steve Schwarzman and Blackstone

“”Discover the untold story of financier Steve Schwarzman, who managed to avoid the self-destructive tendencies of Wall Street and transform Blackstone, his financial powerhouse, from a company filled with gamblers and hostile takeover artists to a place of disciplined, risk-conscious investors. Analyses the controversies surrounding Blackstone and whether it and other private equity firms suck the lifeblood out of companies to enrich themselves – or whether they are a force that helps make the companies they own stronger and thereby better competitors.”” – ASIN: 0307886026 | ISBN13: 9780307886026 | ISBN-13: 978-0307886026
