Josh Kosman has been covering the financial industry for twenty-five years. He is a reporter for the New York Post, a former editor at Mergermarket.com and a former senior writer for The Deal and Buyouts Newsletter. He appears frequently in the media as a private equity and mergers expert. Few people realise that the top private equity firms such as Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts have become America's largest employers through the businesses they own. Journalist Josh Kisman explores private equity's explosive growth and shows how its barons wring profits at the expense of the long-term health of their companies. He argues that excessive debt and mismanagement will likely trigger another economic meltdown within the next five years, wiping out up to two million jobs.

Comment lever 100 millions avec une auto-école ? Acharnement, endurance, entêtement, obstination, pivots, patience, persévérance seraient les maîtres mots.Benjamin Gaignault, le cofondateur d’Ornikar, vient de lever 100 millions d’euros auprès d’un des plus prestigieux fonds d’investissement américain Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR).Avant ces 100 millions, il en a bavé ! Nous revenons ensemble sur les 8 ans de galère et des procès à répétition : “la traversée du shitstorm” comme il le dit si bien. Il n’a jamais rien lâché, il y a toujours été, vent debout, comme un soldat au combat. 8 années de combat juridique, de communication, commercial, stratégique, qui le mettent dans une position idéale pour révolutionner l’assurance automobile.De “edtech” à “insurtech” l’objectif d’Ornikar est clair : devenir le leader mondial de la sécurité routière. C’est donc avec cette approche qu’Ornikar Assurrance développe son offre d’assurance automobile, un marché de 17 milliards d'euros. À l’instar d’Alan ou encore Luko sur le médical ou l’habitation, l’assurance automobile est dominée par de grands acteurs historiques mais l’expérience utilisateur est entièrement à revoir.

Tulsa native Henry R. Kravis co-founded the global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and is the Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer. The firm pioneered the development of the management buyout. The Kravis name is embedded in Tulsa, Oklahoma history. Philbrook Museum of Art’s Kravis Wing was named in honor of Henry’s father, Raymond F. Kravis, and Gilcrease Museum houses the Kravis Discovery Center. Henry’s mother, Bessie Roberts Kravis, was founder of the Tulsa Urban League, a member of the Tulsa Jewish Federation, and a promoter of the arts. Raymond F. Kravis was an oil and gas consultant and philanthropist. He was a board member of the St. John Medical Center foundation and was on the executive committee of the Boy Scouts of America.

Drawing on the example of his parents, Henry Kravis is known as a major New York City philanthropist for several cultural and educational institutions.
The force of the trade war unleashed by Donald Trump goes beyond peeved farmers and pricier gadgets. The entire economic model of modern corporations is up for grabs, just as China is undergoing a huge internal shift that's likely to upend supply chains. Frances Lim of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts shares with Daniel Moss of Bloomberg Opinion her conclusions from a recent trip to the epicenter.
Marquee private equity firms such as Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group, and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, have grown bigger and more powerful than ever. They have also become the nation's largest employers through the businesses they own. Journalist Josh Kosman, who is a business writer at The New York Post explores private equity's explosive growth and shows how its barons wring profits at the expense of the long-term health of their companies. He argues that excessive debt and mismanagement will likely trigger another economic meltdown by 2018, wiping out more than one million jobs. He also explores the links between the private equity elite and Washington power players, who have helped them escape government scrutiny. The result is a timely book with an important warning for us all. Ralph Nader says this about Josh Kosman's book, The Buyout of America. “Just how do those giant private-equity boys get away with taking over working companies, strip-mining their equity, squeezing out many workers, often ending in bankruptcy, yet still jump ship with big profits, pay very few taxes, and stay out of jail? The answers are in Josh Kosman's The Buyout of America. He believes there is still time to wake up Washington, but only if enough readers themselves heed this properly alarming wake-up call for all Americans.” To contact Josh Kosman, please visit http://www.joshkosman.com

This conference seeks to examine these critical questions in an expansive way, drawing together scholars from a number of different subfields in political science as well By bringing together former government officials, leading legal scholars and political scientists with a range of backgrounds and perspectives, this conference hopes to present a systematic, balanced analysis of the proper place of the president in the political system. The conference itself will examine what role the courts, Congress, and the public have played in checking presidential actions historically, and what role they should play in the Iraq War and beyond in a world where the opponent in a military conflict may not be a sovereign state.

In fact according to panelists at the 2008 Wharton Private Equity Conference middle-market investors are to some extent insulated from the current credit crisis and other economic ups and downs. ”We're delighted with the credit crunch ” one speaker said.
