Berkeley-raised author explores how private equity profits by destroying companies
Briefly

Megan Greenwell has consistently focused on the stories of everyday people throughout her career, starting from her investigative reporting in her youth to her recent book, "Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream." This book exposes the private equity industry's impact on American lives, detailing the experiences of various workers affected by leveraged buyouts. Greenwell's narrative spans her career as a journalist from covering the Iraq War to magazine editing. She will discuss her work at an upcoming event in Oakland with journalist Mike Isaac.

"Bad Company is a deep dive into how private equity serves its own interests and created a new class of billionaires, while upending the lives of thousands of people."
