About this book
An indispensable on-the-ground guide to the financial landscape of the twenty-first century, from venture capital to hedge funds to management consulting. Money Makers illuminates the often-secretive industries of the private sector that drive the modern economy. David Snider and Chris Howard draw on their interviews with top executives—such as Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase; David Rubenstein, cofounder of the Carlyle Group; and Shona Brown, former SVP of Business Operations at Google—to reveal the histories, mechanics, operations, and challenges of investment banking, venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, management consulting, and the management of Fortune 500 companies. "A fabulous book for understanding entrepreneurship, venture capital and the symbiotic relationship they share. Money Makers takes readers inside these fields with highly relevant, engaging examples and a clear articulation of industry dynamics." —Reed Hastings, chairman and cofounder of Netflix "An excellent read on the inner workings of business and finance. I was particularly impressed by the lucid discussions of the consulting industry and the role of executives at Fortune 500 companies." —Stephen Kaufman, Senior Lecturer at the Harvard Business School, former Chairman and CEO of Arrow Electronics, former partner at McKinsey & Company Includes a Foreword by Robert K. Steel, Former Undersecretary of Domestic Finance for the US Treasury
