Vulture Capitalist

di Sheelah Kolhatkar (Autore)

John Murray, 2027

An explosive investigation into the life and misdemeanours of the dark lord of finance Paul Singer - a billionaire you've never heard of yet whose destructive impact reaches far and wide. Vulture Capitalist is the first full exposé of Paul Singer, the billionaire Republican mega-donor who founded Elliot Management. Singer's pursuit of an absolute free market, method of hollowing out businesses (including eBay and Twitter) and crushing of opponents has made him one of the most feared invisible forces in the financial world. The archetype of everything that's gone awry with capitalism, his scorched-earth approach has caused irreversible damage to the well-being of future generations. His effect on taxation, regulation, education and foreign affairs cannot be underestimated in a world in which inequality continues to rise while the state rolls back. America's businesses and politicians now bend the knee to Singer, fearful of his financial blitzkrieg. Sheelah Kolhatkar will show Singer's evolution from unsophisticated New Jersey lawyer into financial titan who made venture capitalism a chaotic and hostile storm that can destroy services, careers and entire economies. Vulture Capitalist will convey the scope of one man's power over our systems of government, industry and everyday life, growing his fortune to historic levels and altering the economic and political landscape forever.
