CHASING GOLDMAN SACHS(ISBN=9780307460110) 英文原版 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

　　You know what happened during the financial crisis … now it is

time to understand why the financial system came so close to

falling over the edge of the abyss and why it could happen again.

Wall Street has been saved, but it hasn’t been reformed. What is

the problem?

Suzanne McGee provides a penetrating look at the forces that

transformed Wall Street from its traditional role as a

capital-generating and economy-boosting engine into a behemoth

operating with only its own short-term interests in mind and with

reckless disregard for the broader financial system and those who

relied on that system for their well being and prosperity.

Primary among these influences was “Goldman Sachs envy”: the

self-delusion on the part of Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers,

Stanley O’Neil of Merrill Lynch, and other power brokers (egged on

by their shareholders) that taking more risk would enable their

companies to make even more money than Goldman Sachs. That

hubris—and that narrow-minded focus on maximizing their short-term

profits—led them to take extraordinary risks that they couldn’t

manage and that later severely damaged, and in some cases

destroyed, their businesses, wreaking havoc on the nation’s economy

and millions of 401(k)s in the process.

In a world that boasted more hedge funds than Taco Bell outlets,

McGee demonstrates how it became ever harder for Wall Street to

fulfill its function as the financial system’s version of a power

grid, with capital, rather than electricity, flowing through it.

But just as a power grid can be strained beyond its capacity, so

too can a “financial grid” collapse if its functions are distorted,

as happened with Wall Street as it became increasingly self-serving

and motivated solely by short-term profits. Through probing

analysis, meticulous research, and dozens of interviews with the

bankers, traders, research analysts, and investment managers who

have been on the front lines of financial booms and busts, McGee

provides a practical understanding of our financial “utility,” and

how it touches everyone directly as an investor and indirectly

through the power—capital—that makes the economy work.

Wall Street is as important to the economy and the overall

functioning of our society as our electric and water utilities. But

it doesn’t act that way. The financial system has been saved from

destruction but as long as the mind-set of “chasing Goldman Sachs”

lingers, it will not have been reformed. As banking undergoes its

biggest transformation since the 1929 crash and the Great

Depression, McGee shows where it stands today and points to where

it needs to go next, examining the future of those financial

institutions supposedly “too big to fail.”

书籍介绍

You know what happened during the financial crisis … now it is time to understand why the financial system came so close to falling over the edge of the abyss and why it could happen again. Wall Street has been saved, but it hasn’t been reformed. What is the problem?

Suzanne McGee provides a penetrating look at the forces that transformed Wall Street from its traditional role as a capital-generating and economy-boosting engine into a behemoth operating with only its own short-term interests in mind and with reckless disregard for the broader financial system and those who relied on that system for their well being and prosperity.

Primary among these influences was “Goldman Sachs envy”: the self-delusion on the part of Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers, Stanley O’Neil of Merrill Lynch, and other power brokers (egged on by their shareholders) that taking more risk would enable their companies to make even more money than Goldman Sachs. That hubris—and that narrow-minded focus on maximizing their short-term profits—led them to take extraordinary risks that they couldn’t manage and that later severely damaged, and in some cases destroyed, their businesses, wreaking havoc on the nation’s economy and millions of 401(k)s in the process.

In a world that boasted more hedge funds than Taco Bell outlets, McGee demonstrates how it became ever harder for Wall Street to fulfill its function as the financial system’s version of a power grid, with capital, rather than electricity, flowing through it. But just as a power grid can be strained beyond its capacity, so too can a “financial grid” collapse if its functions are distorted, as happened with Wall Street as it became increasingly self-serving and motivated solely by short-term profits.

  对于靳埭强的设计，一开始我是拒绝的，觉得他的作品死板，老旧，不灵动。但是这本书读到后边，好像摸索出了靳埭强的个人风格，让我感觉到他的理性和克制——多看不同的设计师的不同作品，需要用心感受他们的创作，发现相同与不同，尊重作品。这本书，4星。

  第三集的故事彻底解开了谜团，故事的最后半程犹如好莱坞惊险剧目，也就是有惊无险。从大背景看，世界的逻辑照常运转，换言之根本未触及实质；但从小情节来说，三本漫画的故事确实终结。期待女主角其他的故事，是的，故事还在继续。

  类似的观点太多。。作者的说辞已经没有新意了。

  当做洛阳旅游介绍书籍来阅读，内容丰富，很长见识。尤其是在刚去洛阳旅游好之后，书中的内容和眼见的风景相结合，更觉得画面感扑面而来，非常好。
