King of Capital: The Story of the Incredible Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Steve Schwarzman and Blackstone

The book tells the story of Blackstone - the largest private investment firm in the world and its impressive ascent to the business Olympus. This is not just another American success story, but a chronicle of the financial revolution that transformed Wall Street and had a significant impact on the global economy.

The authors - well-known American journalists specializing in reporting on events in the private equity and mergers and acquisitions markets - recreate the chronicle of Schwarzman's remarkable transformation from a modest bank employee to a multibillionaire, the "king of capital." Based on the facts presented, readers will be able to form their own opinion on whether Blackstone and similar private equity market participants use the acquired companies for their own enrichment or, on the contrary, strengthen them and make them competitive.

The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers.
