Economics and Beyond with Rob Johnson:
"Brendan Ballou, talks to Rob about his forthcoming book, Plunder, about the growing harmful role of private equity in the US."
Worth the listen.
Other revealing pieces on private equity include:
"Preying on the Dying: Private Equity Gets Rich in Hospice Care"-CEPR
"How Private Equity Widens the Income Gap"-NPR
"Born to Die"-The American Prospect
"Private Equity Giants Back Sinema in Q1"-Sludge
"Private Equity is Gutting American and Getting Away with It"-NYTNew books on the ravages of private equity:
"These are the Plunderers: How Private Equity Runs--and Wrecks--America" (Simon and Schuster)
"Plunder: Private Equity's Plan to Pillage America" by Brendan Ballou (GoodReads)
PEU Report applauds these writings as my blog has had the aim of revealing the ills of private equity underwriters (PEU) since it began in 2007.
Update 5-6-23: The Motley Fool did an interview with Ballou. It's titled "Private Equity's Opaque World."
Update 6-2-23: The American Prospect ran a piece called "Days of Plunder."
Two new books call ‘private equity’ what it actually is, but neither offers much hope for emancipation from our eternal hostile takeover.I suggest the piece be renamed "Decades of Plunder" enabled by both Red and Blue political teams.
