Rezensionen
Going for Broke von John Rothchild
I re-read this book at the same time I re-read Connie Bruck's "The Predator's Ball." The two books are of a piece, in that both relate to the go-go LBO era of Wall Street in the 1980s. This one is a case study in how one man (Robert Campeau), in spite of a number of issues, personal, financial and managerial, managed to take over two large department store chains using borrowed momey. Of course, it all comes crashing down. Very slickly and well-written, I thought.

Just reading chapter 1 by itself is a must & this is a dated book! Does not matter if your young or older, it is a very good book about how capitalism works and how you can profit from it - every parent should have their kids read this book - even if they don't become investors themselves - a must read to understand how our money system really works
