Bailout Nation offers one of the clearest looks at the financial lenders, regulators, and politicians responsible for the financial crisis of 2008. Written by Barry Ritholtz, one of today's most popular economic bloggers and a well-established industry pundit, this book skillfully explores how the United States evolved from a rugged independent nation to a soft Bailout Nation-where financial firms are allowed to self-regulate in good times, but are bailed out by taxpayers in bad times.
Entertaining and informative, this book clearly shows you how years of trying to control the economy with easy money has finally caught up with the federal government and how its practice of repeatedly rescuing Wall Street has come back to bite them. -

Leonard Green just made something explicit that’s been quietly happening for years. Their inaugural Sage Equity Investors fund just announced a close at $3.6bn, more than double the original target. That’s notable not just for the size, but for what it represents. LGP was one of the first buyout shops to launch a dedicated GP-led secondary strategy in 2024, ahead of the most recent continuation-vehicle wave. The inflection point for GP-leds came in 2021, when the market more than doubled year-over-year to roughly $70bn in volume. Since then, a growing list of traditional buyout platforms has followed, formalizing GP-led strategies inside established franchises — including AEA, AKKR, Warburg Pincus, New Mountain, TPG, HIG, and Golub, with HG and EQT announcing launches just recently. Beyond opportunism or ownership engineering, this is about owning the best assets for longer in an environment where sponsor-to-sponsor exits are harder to execute and competition for new deals is intense. Dedicated GP-led funds are now core infrastructure, with 2025 transaction volume exceeding $100bn (up +50% y/y). It’s showtime. #secondaries
