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.

評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...
評分有段时间觉得在中国做PE成了个不正经的职业,要是一个人长时间没听见动静,再过段时间他突然重现江湖,往往都会对你说:“我现在做PE了。”前几年很多PE基金就是那么两三个人到处跑着找项目,他们甚至没有一个像样的办公室。真不知道为什么那些LP会放心把钱放给他们打理。 ...
評分私募,照我也许不全面的理解,即为收购并购未上市公司,或私有化已上市公司,帮助公司运转做大,然后包装IPO发笔财。 这本书对于私募这个行当的起步描写很详细,一个叫史蒂夫·施瓦茨曼(Stephen Schwarzman)的聪明的家伙发现了通过并购赚钱的方法,与同在雷曼的partner彼得...

開頭有點無聊 後來越來越好看。 相比 peterson的那本書 這本書更關注這個行業 和公司的起伏 而且作者寫得真心好 推薦閱讀
评分不是很好看。。三星半
评分黑石的小傳,也對PE行業相關的player做瞭介紹。但是對於一些重要case介紹的不多不深,behind the curtain部分基本沒有。讀到後記發現作者拿到瞭黑石和蘇世民本人不少授權,所以好多話就不方便說瞭吧。
评分為嘛大傢評價那麼高,不就是本比較全麵的黑石自傳嗎?。。。
评分終於斷斷續續的看完瞭,看瞭好久。可以簡要瞭解到自80年代以來美國金融衍生品的曆史沿革以及華爾街金錢永不眠的主綫,當錢變成瞭數字的時候,的確挺刺激,也有點悵然。謝謝天櫻~~~~
