The Key Man by Simon     Clark
"Super interesting true story about corruption fraud and greed within emerging markets of private equity and high finance that reads like a novel. "
The Key Man by Simon     Clark
"Obligatory finance read. This book gave me hives. It’s also a pretty damning account of impact investors (or at least someone pretending to be an impact investor). What a wild ride."

“How to build and fund a fair and just world isn’t only a question for the key men and key women who work in business and finance and dine with prime ministers in Davos. Most important, it’s a question for you.”
Simon Clark, The Key Man: The True Story of How the Global Elite Was Duped by a Capitalist Fairy Tale

“The guiding principles were respect, trust, and one man, one vote. He jotted down rules: no finger-pointing, absolute frankness, and no disagreements in public or in print.”
Simon Clark, The Key Man

“Arif could have taken a pay cut to ease the financial pressure on Abraaj but this was never really an option for him, even as the cash crunch worsened. Arif paid himself $53.75 million in 2015, a sum it would take a Pakistani on the country’s average wage more than 40,000 years to earn.”
