Not the best of Feynman but good enough

I enjoyed listening to those lectures and pondered how the subjects mentioned are still valid.

Potentially a good story

Revisado: 11-06-23

But badly executed. Perhaps the author should take some courses on structuring a story, so that it does not read like an IRS report. Also, it requires good editing.

70+ Years of Kerala History

Revisado: 06-27-23

Beautifully written and narrated, a convoluted story full of twists and turns, gripping - what more needs to be said?

From Maxed Out to PE - where are we heading?

Revisado: 06-22-23

I have been training corporate bankers in risk analysis for over a quarter of a century. After the subprime crisis, I started saying that the next crisis would be caused by PE funds, although I did not predict the extent to which they would game the system. The bubble will eventually burst, as the processes described are not sustainable. It just makes me angry that those excesses destroy free market economy.

Superb topic, poor execution

Revisado: 10-06-22

McKinsey was one of the firms I wished I worked for when I was younger. Now I don’t regret that I didn’t.

However, there is nothing new that the authors describe: cost cutting, right-sizing, getting contracts improperly, providing pro bono work to obtain information which could be monetised in other contracts or even helping dictators. All of this could be described in the introduction. It would make a better book if the authors limited the scope and went deeper.

Overcrowded

Revisado: 11-16-20

Too many characters, too many suspects, too many twists. A whodunnit with a mission to save the world, although this only becomes apparent in the last chapter.
