Description
The remarkable story of Steve Schwarzman and Blackstone's rise to dominance on Wall Street is told in King of Capital. This book reveals how private equity firms transformed themselves from risk-takers to disciplined investors, while the financial establishment was recklessly assuming risks, leading to a global economic crisis. Insightful and hard-hitting, King of Capital provides a detailed look at the workings of Blackstone, a company that was once the personal fiefdom of Schwarzman and Peter Peterson. The book shows how Blackstone and private equity firms have become a major force on Wall Street, challenging established players for dominance. With never-before-revealed details, King of Capital offers a unique perspective on the world of finance and the role of private equity in shaping the economy.
