From entrepreneurs building companies to cash out rather than build for the long term, to once-great businesses being loaded with debt and run into the ground, he examines the incentives driving today's deal-making culture. Chris argues that many private equity firms are now facing a reckoning as exits become harder, valuations come under pressure, and buyers disappear. While the fallout may create future opportunities for investors, the damage to businesses, consumers, and especially healthcare could be significant before the music finally stops.
