Why people recommend it

Money to Burn by William D. Cohan is an investigative non-fiction book that exposes the unvarnished truth about financier Leon Black, Apollo Global Management, and the massive rise of private equity on Wall Street. On Breaking Points, Krystal Ball previewed an upcoming segment centered on the author and his explosive new book, focusing particularly on Leon Black's controversial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the broader economic implications of private equity dominating modern industries. In the subsequent segment on the same program, Saagar Enjeti formally introduced guest William Cohan and displayed the book on screen, highlighting its critical examination of elite financial power structures and the inner workings of Wall Street. Both hosts underscored the urgency and investigative rigor of Cohan's work, presenting it as an essential read for anyone attempting to understand the murky intersections of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, corporate finance, and systemic economic influence that shape the contemporary global landscape today.
