The Money Trap
あらすじ・解説
This program is read by Raza Jaffrey, best known for his role in Homeland.
A gripping and entertaining memoir that shines a rare light on an industry that is disrupting our lives.
Veteran Morgan Stanley banker Alok Sama thought he'd seen it all. Then he found himself chief dealmaker at the most influential technology investor in the world—SoftBank, the backer of Arm Holdings, Yahoo, Nvidia, TikTok, Uber, T-Mobile, Alibaba and WeWork.
The Money Trap is Sama’s thrilling, stranger-than-fiction personal odyssey featuring his experiences alongside SoftBank’s iconic founder, Masayoshi Son, a visionary maverick who wants to be remembered as “the crazy guy who bet on the future” and whose mission is “happiness for everyone.” Sama takes the listener on a wild journey as he consorts with A-list CEOs and heads of state, and negotiates mega-deals on a Gulfstream jet, Son’s sanctuary with its exquisite Japanese garden, and a waterside restaurant in the Turkish Riviera—all while contending with a mysterious dark-arts smear campaign that takes a toll on his private life.
This fascinating and humorous saga provides a unique insider perspective on the insanity of high finance and venture investing. Written with self-deprecating wit, unflinching honesty and searing introspection, The Money Trap is ultimately a morality tale: in life, as in technology investing, more money isn’t always the answer.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
批評家のレビュー
“A riveting page-turner about the world of technology and dealmaking told by an insider…An immigrant's story with something significant to say about class, character, identity, family, and perhaps more than anything, the search for happiness.”—Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Everything Is Illuminated
“An existential and exquisitely satisfying business thriller…A wonderful story that begins with big business and big deals and ends with the biggest question: what does it mean to be a person? Sama brings a pure writerly eye into rooms and situations never before captured in print. This is a thrilling and important book: the incredible thing is that it’s all true.”—David Lipsky, New York Times bestselling author of Absolutely American and Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself
“Sama writes with authority and panache, humor and outrage, and above all knowledge. (Imagine Michael Lewis had been President of SoftBank.) This man knows a lot, and he’s willing to share—and to make sure you have a great time as he does. If this book doesn't become a bestseller, the world truly makes no sense.”—Darin Strauss, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Half a Life
