FT editor Roula Khalaf, chooses his favorite stories in this weekly newsletter.

During a voltage period in 2009, during the Board of the Citigroup, the more influential faces of the Wall Street Robert Rubin, the outside investment bank consultant, Scott Bok approached.

The former US Treasury Secretary Rubin said that at that time he knew a Citi executor, his father, mistakenly, the son of the Derek Bok, Harvard University. The origin of the banker’s father was more modest – a medium high school fall, installing telephone poles and supported his family. However, Scott Bok was prevented from starting the four decades of events on the wall street Living Wall Street: Victory, a tale of tragedy and time will be published next week.

On this run, hundreds of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as first-class and manhattan’s American Natural History Museum, as well as the department of the Guardians of the Ivy League University.

Compared to the biggest names in Wall Street, the shit is perhaps B-list grandson – is something that the autobiography has accepted. The shit is like a professional arc to the forrest Gump, perhaps not the most important guy in the room, but not the most important man in the room, but a number of seats from Wall Street to the position of outside Wall Street.

Although the book has been in business since the pandemic, some questions that seem very relevant in 2025 – including the golden age of the US golden age, the best thing was the best for people as the father of financiers, including Shit. And then this period will be shaken by a domestic chairman.

When I first met shit 20 years ago, Robert Greenhill, Robert Greenhill, an advanced investment banker in ten years ago for a job by the combination consultant boutique. Greenhill held decades in Morgan Stanley and was replaced by Sandy Weill in mid-1990s and was replaced by Greenhill, in the corporate law and Morgan Stanley veteran, then Greenhill & Co. for increasingly increasing

The company also liked to work with small companies in New York and London, as well as small companies.

In 2005, when I met with this interview, Greenhill had just made public, and a few years later a few years later a $ 2 billion market capitalized. Like hedge funds and private capital, the boom stretching around the world was prevalent. Countless individual luck are kept flying, with a few blipes.

Greenhill executive staff, sharing and dividends, took money from the table many times while continuing. The company Greenhill was therefore did not go well. Several giant rival firms occurred and the shit could not keep up. Once a flattery media is dried. Bok, including me, trucks various adult collisions with journalists. In 2023, Japan’s Mizuho took Greenhill to $ 550 million, probably debt. Sharing purchase price $ 15 price was a cry from $ 90 in the late 2000s.

Greenhill’s classes related to the sales and fragility of financial institutions are designed to be the book code. However, the events intervened and made a result. On October 7, 2023, Israel’s Israel’s Israel’s Israel’s terrorist attack in Israel’s terrorist attack in Israel’s terrorist attack in Israel to the government of many public attention to the government.

Bok, the first detailed version of these events here – read and vice versa. He also remained a struggle between the distinct diamonds, a group of children, a group of millionaires and billionaires, a group of universities, graduates and studies.

Bok, as many of the Wall Street decision, in the last 40 years there are many fortunes to drive a wave of money in the United States. At the end of a top run, the shit has modesty to admit these successes. In the coming years, a number of high flying careers are collected and are interested in the interrospective of other masters of the universe.
