About this book

These Are the Plunderers: How Private Equity Runs—and Wrecks—America is a book written by Pulitzer Prize-winner journalist Gretchen Morgenson, along with Joshua Rosner, published by Simon & Schuster. The book details the activities of private equity in the United States, and its apparent toll on the American economy, more specifically corporate restructuring, asset stripping, its influence on employment, public service and institutional stability, with case studies on systemic economic consequences. The book investigates the perceived greed in private equity and its negative effects on industries, paychecks, and the lives of everyday people.
