Klappentext zu „Money Makers “
In the wake of global financial crisis, the people, firms and businesses driving our modern economy have changed. While elite fields of business and finance now play a dominant role in the global economy, how they work remains a mystery to most outsiders. Still, terms like hedge funds and private equity, once rarely discussed in mainstream media, have now reached full-scale public prominence. Money Makers reveals the selective and secretive industries of the private sector that drive the modern economy from the perspective of leaders in each field. Throughout the book, David Snider and Dr. Chris Howard rely on insights gleaned from interviews with top executives in six industries: private equity, hedge funds, management consulting, investment banking, management of Fortune 500 companies, and venture capital. Exploring the histories, firms, people, and mechanics of modern finance, Money Makers is an accessible guide for those looking to make sense of the financial world.

Rezension zu „Money Makers “
'Given the recent economic turmoil, it is more important than ever for people to learn about the dynamics of business and finance. David Snider and Chris Howard provide readers with a clear understanding of key financial industries and deliver insights and analysis from the people leading these fields. This is the book for a savvy layperson interested in exploring business today.' - Suzy Welch, New York Times bestselling author and columnist, with Jack Welch, for BusinessWeek magazine 'Howard and Snider provide a concise and dynamic view of the venture capital business. Anyone who wants to understand the mechanics of this industry will learn from and enjoy the book, particularly those who aspire to be venture capitalists.' - Nicholas Beim, General Partner, Matrix Partners 'Approachable and insightful, Money Makers takes you inside many of the most selective industries within the business world. Private equity, hedge funds, management consulting and the like are often referenced in the media but seldom fully explained. With their own experience and the wisdom of the business and finance leaders they interviewed, the authors have done a remarkable job making sense of these sophisticated fields.' - Jim Ellis, Dean of the USC Marshall School of Business, former President and CEO of Porsche Design 'This book illustrates compelling stories of success, especially for people embarking on new careers. The reader has the thoughts and experiences of an impressive array of business leaders.' - Peter Kellner, Co-founder, Endeavor; Managing Partner, Uhuru Capital Management 'I was blown away at how insightful Money Makers is. A fresh look at the DNA of private equity, venture capital, hedge funds and more. I wish something like this existed when I started my career in finance.' - Jeff Bloomberg, Principal at Gordon Brothers, former Senior Managing Director for Retail and Consumer Products at Bear Stearns
