Jason Fagone (author, The Woman Who Smashed Codes) — 'Eric writes with passion and precision about the wrecking ball of big-money investing'

Fagone is the bestselling author of The Woman Who Smashed Codes, about the codebreaker Elizebeth Friedman, with The Husband Simulation to come. His post marking Friedman's birthday ends with a short run of reading recommendations, and Incorruptible is among them. Eric was an early supporter of Fagone's book a decade ago and sent him this one.

“Eric writes with passion and precision about the wrecking ball of big-money investing, how Wall Street and private equity turn companies with integrity into rubble. He tells a number of infuriating stories that resonated with me. I remember my father going through this when I was a kid, at his company, which was bought and drained by a private equity firm. Eric proposes solutions that feel human and also achievable. I didn't expect to be moved by a "business" book but I was.” — Jason Fagone on Substack
