More About This Book

Overview

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, Senior Vice President 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. Money Makers is an indispensable on-the-ground guide that puts today’s financial landscape into perspective.

With a Foreword by Robert K. Steel, Former CEO of Wachovia and Under Secretary of Domestic Finance for the US Treasury.

    A stellar resource for the recent graduate

    Money Makers is the perfect guide for a graduate who is, like me, slightly overwhelmed at the daunting process of choosing a career path. The book walks you through the different worlds of business and does so with humor and understanding. Though the content reaches a sophisticated level, the reading is accessible to the less business-savvy of people. I would recommend it to any and all who are looking to pursue a career in business, looking to make money, or looking for an explanation on what the difference is between Investment Banking, Brokers, Venture Capitalists . all the words that make headlines but that we have trouble wrapping our heads around.

    One of the best business books I've read

    One of the best business books I've read: Money Makers was informative, concise, and entertaining.

    I've recommended this book numerous times to people who are either a) considering a financial career, b) striving to place financial news in a more nuanced context, or c) curious about the hands pulling the strings in our financial markets.

    Why it's unique: the book integrates candid interviews with luminaries from financial titans Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital, Greylock Partners, and McKinsey, as well as leaders at corporate behemoths Google, Motorola, General Electric, and Boston Scientific (among others). David Snider's and Dr. Chris Howard's thorough background research puts each industry into sharp focus. Refreshingly, the technical explanations throughout the book clarify such frequently confused topics as debt instruments, subprime mortgages, and investment with nearly unparalleled clarity.

    Favorite parts: the unflinching assessments of the life of investment bankers, private equity managers, hedge fund managers, management consultants, and venture capitalists are especially memorable. These richly painted portrayals simultaneously educated and engaged me by including the detailed pros and cons of the five industries' work-life balance, compensation considerations, and required characteristics for success.

    My only gripe: the entrepreneurship section got relatively short-shrift amidst the book's other financial profiles. On the other hand, entrepreneurs are frequently media darlings already. Money Makers' true edge is in carefully illuminating the less well documented actors of the business world--actors that have played significant roles in the recent financial disasters.

    Overall, I still give Money Makers an enthusiastic "A+".
