Gretchen Morgensen on the Rise of Private Equity

Bloomberg Radio host Barry Ritholtz speaks with Gretchen Morgenson, senior financial reporter for the NBC News investigative unit. A former stockbroker and alumna of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, she won the Pulitzer Prize in 2002 for her “trenchant and incisive” reporting on finance. She and coauthor Joshua Rosner recently published “These Are the Plunderers: How Private Equity Runs ― and Wrecks ― America.” They also wrote the 2011 bestseller “Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon,” about the mortgage crisis.
