英文简介:
The authoritative exposé of private equity: what it is, how it kills businesses and jobs, how the government helps, and how we stop it Private equity surrounds us.
Firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, and KKR are among the largest employers in America and hold assets that rival those of small countries.
Yet few understand what these firms are or how they work.
In Plunder, Brendan Ballou explains how private equity has reshaped American business by raising prices, reducing quality, cutting jobs, and shifting resources from productive to unproductive parts of the economy.
Ballou vividly illustrates how many private equity firms buy up retailers, medical practices, prison services, nursing-home chains, and mobile-home parks, among other businesses, using little of their own money to do it and avoiding debt and liability for their actions.
Forced to take on huge debts and pay extractive fees, companies purchased by private equity firms are often left bankrupt, or shells of their former selves, with consequences to communities that long depended on them.
Perhaps most startling is Ballou’s insight into how this is happening with the active support of various arms of the government.
But, as Ballou reveals in an agenda for reining in the industry, private equity can be stopped from wreaking further havoc.
中文简介:
私募股权的权威揭露：它是什么，它如何扼杀企业和就业机会，政府如何提供帮助，以及我们如何阻止它私募股权围绕着我们。
Blackstone、Carlyle 和 KKR 等公司是美国最大的雇主之一，其资产可与小国相媲美。
然而很少有人了解这些公司是什么或者它们是如何运作的。
布伦丹·巴卢在《掠夺》一书中解释了私募股权如何通过提高价格、降低质量、裁员以及将资源从经济中的生产性部分转移到非生产性部分来重塑美国商业。
巴卢生动地说明了有多少私募股权公司收购零售商、医疗机构、监狱服务、疗养院连锁店和活动房屋公园等企业，只用很少的自有资金来做到这一点，并避免为其行为承担债务和责任。
私募股权公司收购的公司被迫承担巨额债务并支付提取费，往往破产或只剩下空壳，对长期依赖它们的社区造成影响。
也许最令人吃惊的是巴卢对在政府各部门的积极支持下如何发生这种情况的洞察力。
但是，正如巴卢在控制该行业的议程中所揭示的那样，可以阻止私募股权造成进一步的破坏。
