Bad Company

In Bad Company, acclaimed journalist Megan Greenwell exposes the pervasive influence of the private equity industry on American life through the compelling narratives of four individuals—each from different sectors affected by private equity takeovers. This timely and thorough investigation reveals how the industry's focus on "efficiency" masks significant community and job losses, spotlighting the stark contrast between the vast wealth accumulated by private equity executives and the devastation faced by ordinary workers. As it unravels the hidden impacts of these financial giants, Bad Company serves as a powerful critique of an economic system that prioritizes profit over people, reshaping communities and threatening the American dream.
