How Private Equity is Making Your Life More Expensive
About this episode
If you feel like everything from your vet bills to your favorite grocery store chains are getting worse at the exact same moment they’re becoming more expensive, there might be a singular explanation: private equity.
I dive in with guest Brendan Ballou, author of Plunder: Private Equity’s Plan to Pillage America and former special counsel for private equity in the Justice Department—baby's first federal investigation!
Disclosure: Brendan Ballou’s views are his own, not the views of his employer.
