Payback: The Conspiracy to Destroy Michael Milken and His Financial Revolution

by Daniel R. Fischel
$10.90
Payback: The Conspiracy to Destroy Michael Milken and His Financial Revolution
Payback: The Conspiracy to Destroy Michael Milken and His Financial Revolution

Exposing the vilification of a financial revolution.

If you're intrigued by the intertwining of high finance and legal drama, "Payback" is a compelling read that could shift your perspective on the 1980s financial world. Daniel R. Fischel offers a contrarian view that sympathizes with Michael Milken, suggesting that his innovative, but controversial, financial strategies were more beneficial than the era's critics claim. For anyone fascinated by the nuances of economic reform and the power plays within corporate America, this book provides a thought-provoking narrative that could challenge popular historical narratives.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
