King of Capital: The Remarkable Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of Steve Schwarzman and Blackstone

Interessante, pois traz fatos sobre como acontecem as coisas por trás de grandes empresas e decisões sobre aquisições e investimentos.

All the anecdotes and stories found in this book are really inspiring and gives you a big understanding about the private equity industry.

Great. Nice intro to PE concepts too.

What a gripping read! The insight and journey from the 1980s to now was a trip down memory lane. The wealth and size of investments is repulsive and it seems success is measured by hard cash and nothing else. Nothing wrong with that but makes for a lack of interesting characters to be inspired by. That said, balls of steel are evident in times of crisis! Certainly demonstrated the zero tolerance to mediocrity in performance-a shame not more evident today in business.The book is really well written, captivating and full of facts and quotes. I could read it again as there is so much to take in.
