The New Financial Capitalists: Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and the Creation of Corporate Value
Based upon interviews with partners of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and on unprecedented access to the firm's records, George Baker and George Smith have written a balanced and enlightening account of how KKR has approached leveraged buyouts. This book focuses on KKR's founding, evolution, and innovations as ways to understand issues in modern American business. In examining KKR as a unique form of enterprise one that subscribes to a set of alternative perspectives on business and value creation the book bridges the gap between public perception and academic knowledge of the leveraged buyout, a crucial phenomenon of modern economic life.

Praise for this book
"This volume is an excellent addition to the literature on mergers, business history, and corporate strategy." H. Mayo, The College of New Jersey
"...The New Financial Capitalists is a cerebral book whose greatest appeal will be to financial intellectuals.... ...the major contribution Baker and Smith make to understanding of the KKR phenomenon is their clear linking of the doings of last decade's LBO deal makers to this decade's astonishing stock market ascent." Michael Silverstein, Bloomberg
"The results are a major insider's view of the major deals for which KKR is known, including the $31 billion buyout of RJR Nabisco, much of which has not been written about so thorughly before." Leader-Telegram
"Baker and Smith take readers through a number of these deals, showing not only their initial financial setup, but also what KKR did to improve their value the years. In this analysis, the writing team obtained unprecedented access to the files and personnel of a very private firm." Teresa McUsic, Post & Courier
"Baker...and Smith...provide a well-documented history of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) and its development of the leveraged buyout (LBO). This volume is an excellent addition to the literature on mergers, business history, and corporate strategy." Choice
"...an insider's view of the major deals for which KKR is known, including the $31 billion buyout of RJR Nabisco, much of which has not been written about so thoroughly before." Teresa McUsic, Orange County Register
