Free Press, 2003
Sobre o que é?
Sanford Weill leveraged and discarded companies and partners as he climbed to the precarious peak of the financial world.
Recommendation
Monica Langley follows Sandford Weill, a shy Jewish boy from Brooklyn, through his youthful struggles against adversity, his journey to the absolute top of the financial world and his tainted success. Seen through the prism of Weill’s tumultuous career, the financial world is small, despite its importance, internally more like a village than a city. The book just confirms your suspicions that practical finance bears almost no resemblance to what you learned in economics class. getAbstract.com commends Langley for skillfully molding the saga of this titanic financier’s career into such a compelling, well-constructed narrative.
