Simon’s Recent Updates

The Key Man by Simon     Clark
"Super interesting true story about corruption fraud and greed within emerging markets of private equity and high finance that reads like a novel. "
The Key Man by Simon     Clark
"Obligatory finance read. This book gave me hives. It’s also a pretty damning account of impact investors (or at least someone pretending to be an impact investor). What a wild ride."
The Key Man by Simon     Clark
"I found this book interesting and well written, I thought the topic was well researched and allowed the drama of the events to lead the story. It was a very enjoyable read. "
The Key Man by Simon     Clark
"Masterfully researched and very well thematically structured book which takes you all the way down the rabbit hole of secretive private equity practices and one of the biggest frauds ever committed by a single businessman. Overall, a splendid read. "

The Key Man by Simon     Clark
“How to build and fund a fair and just world isn’t only a question for the key men and key women who work in business and finance and dine with prime ministers in Davos. Most important, it’s a question for you.”

“How to build and fund a fair and just world isn’t only a question for the key men and key women who work in business and finance and dine with prime ministers in Davos. Most important, it’s a question for you.”
Simon Clark, The Key Man: The True Story of How the Global Elite Was Duped by a Capitalist Fairy Tale

“The guiding principles were respect, trust, and one man, one vote. He jotted down rules: no finger-pointing, absolute frankness, and no disagreements in public or in print.”
Simon Clark, The Key Man

“Arif could have taken a pay cut to ease the financial pressure on Abraaj but this was never really an option for him, even as the cash crunch worsened. Arif paid himself $53.75 million in 2015, a sum it would take a Pakistani on the country’s average wage more than 40,000 years to earn.”
