Critics Review
“Money to Burn … might as well be drawn from the pages of a Tom Wolfe novel. A Shakespearian tragedy measurable in billable hours … Money to Burn is a remarkable work about financial genius and human failure.” —The Economist
“Cohan’s ear for dialogue is pitch perfect … riveting.” —The Times
“Money to Burn is a riveting and astounding exposé of our rotten new Gilded Age. No one is better at spilling the secrets of Wall Street’s high-flying and hard-falling billionaires than the renowned financial journalist William D. Cohan.” —Jane Mayer, author of Dark Money
“William Cohan’s latest exposé, Money to Burn, is a Shakespearean tale of modern hubris on Wall Street … [and] a master class in reporting from the hidden power centers of America’s billionaire class. Another must-read from the country’s premier business journalist.” —Susan Glasser, coauthor of The Divider
“Money to Burn is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how one of the most important players on modern Wall Street came to be. It’s one part family saga, one part Shakespearean play, and one part a history of the financial world—and entirely engrossing.” —Bethany McLean, coauthor of The Big Fail and The Smartest Guys in the Room
“William Cohan has the rare ability to translate esoteric Wall Street jargon into elegant, comprehensible words … a titan of financial journalism.” —Ken Auletta, author of Hollywood Ending and Googled
