About this episode
CFO Bookshelf considers The Wisdom of Finance one of its favorite 25 business books.
Mihir Desai combines abstract and obtuse finance concepts with literature, history, movies, and poems in his book, which was released in 2017.
In this bookclub-style episode, we cover several of the themes Mihir highlighted in his educational and entertaining book:
- Bankruptcy (the history of Robert Morris)
- Options and Diversification (Pride and Prejudice)
- Value Creation (The Parable of the Talents)
- Corporate Governance (The Producers)
- Mergers (marriages)
- The Demonization of Finance (O Pioneers!)
