Acerca de esta escucha

Barbarians at the Gate has been called one of the most influential business books of all time, the definitive account of the largest takeover in Wall Street history. Bryan Burrough's and John Helyer's account of the frenzy that overtook Wall Street in October and November of 1988 is the story of dealmakers and publicity flaks, of strategy meetings and society dinners, of boardrooms and balls. It gives us not only a detailed look at financial operations at the highest levels but a richly textured social history of wealth in the twilight of the Reagan era.©2003 Bryan Burrough and John Helyar (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers 20th Century Américas Estados Unidos Gestión Gestión y Liderazgo Modern Negocio Wall Street

poor narration

A great recap of one of the storied falls of a business, the personality that drove it and a perfect micro assessment of the entire LBO frenzy of the 80’s and early 90’s

This shortened my 3.5 hour commute like no other audio book to date. Having lived through the dot com boom and experiencing the greed first hand, I could relate to the ever climbing offer price motivation. The justifications were the fascinating points. While it's easy to get lost in the ever changing deals or who's partnering with whom, this is an entertaining listen. The main business lesson here is that "greed is NOT good". Eventually, all you are left with is your greed.

Non-stop deal making!

this book was abridged too tightly. it's a complex story that needed more of the details from the printed book

abridgements leave big gaps

I missed this one when it first came out. Great view into the machinations of Wall Street investment banking firms, corporate executive greed and hubris and over-sized egos.

just way to much of a play by play of a corporate takeover. no insight into the players.

very very dry

Where does Barbarians at the Gate rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is an average listen for such a fascinating story. The story is a pinacle point in business history, but I think the author approached the story at too high of a level, and reads too fast. The author should not have read the book, and the more time should have been taken to explain the book. The event was interesting, but the book needed to take more time to explain all of the details of the event.

Compelling story delivered well by the performers. A great look into the dog eat dog world of business and LBOs

Great read
