This book could also be titled the New Robber Barons, but instead of plundering natural resources, they are plundering jobs from you and me! They caused the bankruptcy of Sears, Toys r Us, and many others. The private equity firms are buying up businesses, fleecing them, then selling them for scrap! And Jerome Powell, our current Fed Chair was a private equity firm executive. Scary! Essentially our system in the US is rigged as the Trumpers are saying, it's the pirates of the private equity firms that are rigging the system for the rich to get richer at the expense of the average worker.
