Investor Capitalism

A behind-the-scenes look at today's kingmakers: institutional investors. Out of the public eye, a small group of professionals- investment experts who handle other people's monies- are exerting ever-greater control over corporate managers, firing CEOs and pushing through'restructurings' that cost thousands of jobs. Michael Useem's " Investor Capitalism" portrays the quiet, veiled nature of this dance of elephants, and portrays the enormous implications of its results. - John Rekenthaler, Publisher, Morningstar, Inc.
