Masters of the Universe: Winning Strategies of America's Greatest Dealmakers

Description: Meet the men and minds that have ignited the greatest decade of deal making in the history of business In the 1980s Tom Wolfe coined the term "masters of the universe" for hard-charging Wall Streeters. In the '90s, that term is applied broadly to the takeover pros behind a decade of stunning mergers and acquisitions. The decade produced more than $8 trillion in M&A, far more than the $2.4 trillion in the "decade of greed." Daniel J.
