These are the Plunderers

These Are the Plunderers by Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner explores the influential and often harmful role of private equity and Wall Street financiers in shaping America's economy over the past thirty years. The authors uncover how private equity firms buy and strip companies, frequently leading to negative outcomes for employees, communities, and public welfare, all while regulators and prosecutors remain passive. This investigation offers a detailed and factual account of the practices that have contributed to growing economic inequality and instability.
