Finance: How Private Equity and Venture Capital Will Shape the Global Economy"

the best minds in the private equity business along with his own to create a
superb discussion of the industry, past, present, and most importantly where it
is going. This is a must read for anyone in the private equity world and for
those considering the field.

Leonard Harlan Chairman, Executive Committee, Castle Harlan

Dan Schwartz was a first-hand witness to the birth of private equity in Asia and
has chronicled its explosive growth over the past two decades. In The Future of
Finance he uses an insiders perspective to full effect, pulling together the
views of many practitioners to illuminate both the roots of the 2008 global
crisis and private equitys potential role in rebuilding our financial system.
Schwartz fast-paced, conversational style makes for a welcome contrast to dry
economic analysis well worth reading for both business leaders and students of
finance.

Dan Carroll Managing Partner, TPG

amid volatile cycles, financial crises, pandemics, capital excess, capital
drought and Darwinian struggles. Many of the prime movers, who paved the way to

Philip Bilden Managing Director, HarbourVest Partners (Asia)

Dan Schwartzs extensive and experienced network has enabled him to tap the key
issues and insights of todays leading private equity and venture capital
practitioners around the world. This enlivens Dans stroll through Europe, North
America and Asia as he examines the development of these private capital markets
and these insights shape the prism through which he views a future for private
equity in the coming decades.

Bill Ferris Executive Chairman, Champ Private Equity

Dan Schwartz is the person best placed to write about the history of the private
equity industry in Asia he was there right from the beginning. In nearly two
decades, he has been a keen observer of the industrys developments and market
trends. He was the cheerleader when the industry was down and he has been a
friend to most of the leading practitioners, a position that provides him with
unique insights into the actual workings of the industry as described in the
book. The New Corporate Theory introduced in the last section of the book is an
interesting thesis. If it comes to fruition, it will transform the
shareholder-driven corporate governance model as we know it today.

Tang Kok Yew Chairman and Managing Partner, Affinity Equity Partners (HK)

It would be hard to find a better guide to the private equity world. Dan
Schwartz has been central to providing thought leadership in the Asian private
equity markets and a leading commentator worldwide for over 20 years, he also
has had impeccable timing as an entrepreneur.
