People in favor of private equity will say that the firms serve a crucial function, making troubled businesses more robust and efficient. “Roughly one in five large companies acquired through leveraged buyouts go bankrupt in a decade,” he writes. By 2017, after years of layoffs, crushing debt and being charged regular management fees by the private equity firms “for the privilege to be owned by them,” Ballou writes, Toys “R” Us was bankrupt. Private equity firms have acquired nursing homes, provided staffing for hospitals and services for prisons. And, of course, the cost-cutting measures typically imposed on acquired companies often include slashed wages and abandoned pension obligations.

“It’s premature to have rate cuts this summer,” Rubenstein, the co-founder and co-chairman of The Carlyle Group, told CNN on Monday. The Fed will look silly if it declares victory at 4%,” said Rubenstein. But Wednesday’s inflation report is expected to show consumer prices are still rising at more than twice the Fed’s target. Despite pessimism on Wall Street and Main Street, Rubenstein said the US economy is “doing okay.”“This has been the most predicted recession in the history of recession predictions. “You could see the credit rating go down and interest rates go up,” said Rubenstein.
☆ Gallup poll: Americans have low confidence in Biden, Powell and Yellen on the economy
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
Even with the unemployment rate tumbling to historic lows, nearly half (48%) of Americans say they have almost no confidence in Biden on the economy. Only 36% of Americans say they have confidence in Powell on the economy, a new low during Powell’s six-year tenure as Fed chief, while 28% say they have almost no confidence. The poll, taken April 3 to April 25, demonstrates how the anxiety caused by high inflation continues to overshadow the nation’s surprisingly strong job market. The economy added 253,000 jobs in April, dropping the unemployment rate to 3.4% — tied for the lowest since 1969. Gallup notes that confidence in leaders tends to rise and fall along with the fortunes of the economy.

It may have been drawn up under England's King John, but these days it belongs to David M. Rubenstein. To learn how Rubenstein amassed those kind of resources, look no further than his new book, “How To Invest: Masters on the Craft." At that time, there was not a whole lot of investing going on, with his father working a blue-collar existence for the Post Office, living paycheck-to-paycheck. Nevertheless, Rubenstein seems to have done alright, with a net worth currently estimated by Forbes at $3.2 billion. RUBENSTEIN'S ADVICE TO INVESTORS BIG AND SMALLWhen it comes to philanthropy, Rubenstein takes a surprisingly hands-on approach – no foundation, no staff, just him.
