'Dan Schwartz has done a masterful job of synthesizing the thoughts of some of the best minds in the private equity business along with his own to create a superb discussion of the industry, past, present, and most importantly where it is going. This is a must read for anyone in the private equity world and for those considering the field' - Leonard Harlan Chairman, Executive Committee, Castle Harlan. 'Dan Schwartz was a first-hand witness to the birth of private equity in Asia and has chronicled its explosive growth over the past two decades. In "The Future of Finance" he uses an insider's perspective to full effect, pulling together the views of many practitioners to illuminate both the roots of the 2008 global crisis and private equity's potential role in rebuilding our financial system. Schwartz' fast-paced, conversational style makes for a welcome contrast to dry economic analysis-well worth reading for both business leaders and students of finance' - Dan Carroll Managing Partner, TPG.
