"Business genius. Politician. Public advocate. Philanthropist and sly wit. Veteran New York Times writer Eleanor Randolph offers a lively and revealing portrait of one of today's most famous and famously private public figures. Perfectly timed, this look at the ex-mayor comes as Bloomberg lauunches yet another of his extravagant adventures, preparing to spend his millions in the 2020 election on candidates and causes, especially climate and gun control. Randolph casts her expertise with fresh insights, as Michael Bloomberg moved from small town, middle-class to Harvard business school to hotshot trader to creator of a financial data machine that revolutionized trading worldwide to urban reformer and elder statesman. One of the most productive mayors in New York's history, a dedicated capitalist and liberal reformer, Bloomberg improved the health of his city, dragged a reluctant bureaucracy into the twenty-first century, and nurtured growth and economic stability. His setbacks were also momentous - he failed too many of the city's poor and homeless, and his stop-and-frisk policies to curb illegal guns drew widespread condemnation, but Bloomberg emerged as an international leader in gun safety, climate change, and the key role of cities in our evolving world." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
