One Step Ahead: Pri­vate Equity and Hedge Funds After the Global Finan­cial Cri­sis by Tim­o­thy Span­gler is a non-fiction book focus­ing on the mys­ter­ies of finance which seem to evade the layman.One Step Ahead: Pri­vate Equity and Hedge Funds After the Global Finan­cial Cri­sis by Tim­o­thy Span­gler is one of those books I always wanted to read but couldn’t find. Mr. Span­gler offers a very infor­ma­tive, high level, infor­ma­tion about alter­na­tive invest­ments in a most read­able way.The book is dense, choke full of infor­ma­tion for peo­ple like me, those who not just enough to cause dam­age before being stripped naked by Wall Street sharks. While I do not intend, nor do I have the funds, to invest in hedge funds or pri­vate equity, it is an inter­est­ing subject.The sec­tion which I found the most inter­est­ing was about taxes and why the income made from invest­ments is taxed at a much lower rate from income earned by actu­ally work­ing. Mr. Span­gler argued both posi­tions quite clearly, I did not change my mind, but I cer­tainly under­stand the other side of the argu­ment much bet­ter. The author did change my mind about think­ing that the whole pri­vate equity finan­cial sys­tem is based on steal­ing money from the mid­dle class, he does delve into that per­cep­tion as well and admits that those finan­cial indus­tries do have a big PR problem.Mr. Span­gler talks about the struc­ture of the funds, the oper­a­tions of both pri­vate equity and hedge funds, as well as their role in the 2008 finan­cial cri­sis. The author also dis­cusses finan­cial reg­u­la­tions, laws and enforce­ment (or lack thereof) and the issues with them (can you say “Congress”?).
