Description - Deals of the Century by Charles R. Geisst
DEALS OF THE CENTURY
Throughout history, mergers and acquisitions have been the major
game played on Wall Street. These deals have had far-reaching
effects, on the worlds of finance and industry - more than most
commentators or financiers are publicly willing to admit.
Deals of the Century captures this dynamic moment
in history by taking an in-depth look at the most notable merger
and acquisition deals of the twentieth of Carnegie Steel in 1901 to
the creation of the former AOL Time Warner, renowned business
historian and bestselling author Charles Geisst traces the deals
that have had the most dramatic impact on the worlds of both
finance and industry over the past century. Decade by decade,
you'll be introduced to the personalities behind each event, as
industries are built, dismantled, and reorganized by
"professionals" driven mainly by the profits extracted from the
deals themselves.
Engaging and informative, Deals of the Century
paints an exciting portrait of the incredible M&A journey and
illustrates how many of these deals changed the face of business,
creating a modern capitalist society that continues to grow.
