Strippers and Flippers . . . or a New Positive Force Helping to Drive the Economy . . .
The untold story of Steve Schwarzman and Blackstone, the financier and his financial powerhouse that avoided the self-destructive tendencies of Wall Street. David Carey and John Morris show how Blackstone (and other private equity firms) transformed themselves from gamblers, hostile-takeover artists, and ‘barbarians at the gate’ into disciplined, risk-conscious investors.
The financial establishment—banks and investment bankers such as Citigroup, Bear Stearns, Lehman, UBS, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley—were the cowboys, recklessly assuming risks, leveraging up to astronomical levels and driving the economy to the brink of disaster.
Blackstone is now ready to break out once again since it is sitting on billions of dollars
that can be invested at a time when the market is starved for capital.
The story of a financial revolution—the greatest untold success story on Wall Street: Not only have Blackstone and a small coterie of competitors wrested control of corporations around the globe, but they have emerged as a major force on Wall Street, challenging the likes of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley for dominance.
Great human interest story: How Blackstone went from two guys and a secretary to being one of Wall Street’s most powerful institutions, far outgrowing its much older rival KKR; and how Steve Schwarzman, with a pay packet one year of $398 million and $684 million from the Blackstone IPO, came to epitomize the spectacular new financial fortunes amassed in the 2000s.
Controversial: Analyzes 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.
The story by two insiders with access: Insightful and hard-hitting, filled with never-before-revealed details about the workings of a heretofore secretive company that was the personal fiefdom of Schwarzman and Peter Peterson.
Forward-looking: How Blackstone and private equity will drive the economy and provide a model for how financing will work.
首先说,翻译很差。发一段我在新浪微博上的吐槽: “《资本之王》看到一半了,基本上,我已经可以判断这是另一本被汉语翻译毁了的书。在这种译文中,读者要有所收获,好比沙里淘金。看介绍,这书大概是@巴曙松 领着学生翻的。我的问题:你们看懂原文了吗?以后,如果能力不够...
评分工作将近一年之际,上学时期未在几个主要领域系统性读书的漏洞慢慢显现。因为缺乏系统性的支持性阅读,课堂上抽象出来的脉络和关键点是那么干瘪,远不足以支撑起一套系统性的思维方式。繁忙的工作间隙再去啃大部头不太现实,于是只能下意识用通俗但不粗浅的书籍填补欠下的窟窿...

黑石的小传,也对PE行业相关的player做了介绍。但是对于一些重要case介绍的不多不深,behind the curtain部分基本没有。读到后记发现作者拿到了黑石和苏世民本人不少授权,所以好多话就不方便说了吧。
评分比较杂,感觉主线不太清晰。罗列了一些历史吧。我终于知道blackstone和blackrock啥关系了。
评分文笔和故事性都一般,知识性还可以
评分好吧,很无语的一本书。如果我读了第二遍,我都很佩服自己
评分废话太多扣一星
