This book was more about what happened after the crisis and what they did vs. what we should expect now. I think this would have been a great book to read right after the financial crisis, but outdated now. It was insightful to hear some of the stories of how some of the great minds looked at the financial crisis, but this book has a definate shelflife in my opinion, and that time is up.

5.0 out of 5 stars This review is from: Thriving in the New Economy: Lessons from Today's Top Business Minds (Hardcover)
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2010

As a Ph.D. in mathematics, a computer scientist and an investor in equities and currencies,I admit, my economist daughter is likely right--I am a bigger nerd than she. But Lori Ann LaRocco's book is not just for the quant guys, nor the algo gals, but for the everyday Jane or Joe who wants to pick the brains of the greatest business minds of the last four decades. Number crunching is something I am very good at; but, how to look at the big picture, seize the moment, and capitalize on what was potentially the collapse of the world's economies is a lesson that I learned from the 23 great minds that Lori Ann features in her book. Without giving away too much, I was mesmerized by Pimco's Paul McCulley, who not only talks about how to thrive in the new economy but defines the "new normal". Peter Cohen's frank assessment of the Lehman Brother's collapse hints at what I suspect may have happened. Larry Lindsey talks about the challenge to investors as more power is shifted to Washington--the hazards of greater government involvement in business. Vanguard founder Jack Bogel invests one hundred percent of his money in his own funds and shares how it is allocated. Bob Doll admits that we may be in the middle of another "16 year flat period" for equities; while he views inflation not deflation as the greater threat. Not surprising is the accuracy of the predictions that nearly all of these men and women make as to the course of the markets and the economy over the short term and their nearly unanimous optimism over the long term. It was a pleasure to learn from them and the likes of Steve Forbes, Abby Joseph Cohen and Richard LeFrak to name a few. I find myself picking up the book from time to time and rereading some of my favorite passages when I need inspiration.

"...the everyday Jane or Joe who wants to pick the brains of the greatest business minds of the last four decades." describes me perfectly. To be able to get advice from the giants that Lori Ann has interviewed for her book is priceless. The everyday Jane or Joe does not have access to the wisdom given in her book anywhere else. She has done a major service for those of us who are finding our way on our own around the markets today. Between this book and the persons she books for Squawk Box she continues to do yeoman's work for us little gals/guys. Her valued work successfully gives us the tools we need to gain an edge otherwise denied to us.

To hire Bob Doll or Wilbur Ross or Ken Langone or Richard LeFrak to speak to you on a variety of topics. Lori Ann LaRocco has captured that in this book. As self made financially independent INVESTOR who owns his own worldwide investing school and writes one of the top safe high yield investing newsletters in the world I understand quality. Unlike some politician pundit or academia nut who fills the airways today, these are the EXPERTS in their field. Lori Ann's tireless desire to make this great is evident to even the most casual reader. I am not only recommending this on here but will recommend it on my investing website as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars With aristocrats like these, who needs enemies?
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2020
This was written for a specific period which has long since passed. And it's about as repetitive as a NASCAR race. 1/2 of the book is what these aristocrats did to weather the storm of the 07-08 financial crisis. Just about all decreased their exposure to the more at-risk sectors of the economy, particularly the subprime mortgage backed securities, before the market crash. How convenient! While this is written for their industry peers, the layman bound to find a few candidly sinister insights from some of these Brahmin.

There was concern that the average consumer would become more frugal as a result of the crisis. We’d take on less debt, and live more fiscally responsible lives. As if it were a bad thing, to live more within our means. I'm looking at you, Peter Cohen. It's hard not to laugh at some of his conclusions.

Others suggested that wages, standard of living, and jobs would decrease as more companies went offshore to cut costs. They did not take issue with this. They were more fearful of a protectionist political backlash to follow. For them, it was more important for people serve the economy, than the other way around.

Very few seemed to display any sense loyalty to their fellow citizen or country, with Cam Fine a notable exception. He is the true hero here, with a fiery critique of Wall St getting bailed out, while Main St was forgotten. He's the only reason this review isn't a 1-star.

With aristocrats like these, who needs enemies?
