Description
'Lemann, a New Yorker staff writer and former dean of the Columbia
Journalism School, has a skill for making grand stories about American
life feel human. He did it in two earlier books, The Promised Land, his
1991 account of the great black migration, and The Big Test, about the
SAT and meritocracy, which was published in 1999. Anyone who read those
books when they appeared would have been better prepared for some of the
political and cultural debates that followed.' ―David Leonhardt, The
New York Times Book Review'Lemann . . . [reminds] us that Transaction
Man and his economist allies were not always ascendant, and that they
wonâ€t necessarily remain so . . . [an] elegant history.' ―Sebastian
Mallaby, The Atlantic'Clearly, something has happened to make us sour on
the American corporation . . . Exactly what went wrong is well
documented in Nicholas Lemannâ€s excellent new book, Transaction Man .
. . Lemannâ€s book is more than worth the price of admission for the
perceptive history and excellent writing. Itâ€s a splendid and
beautifully written illustration of the tremendous importance public
policy has for the daily lives of ordinary people.' ―Ryan Cooper,
Washington Monthly'[Lemann] is clearly well-versed in the financial,
economic, and political histories of his Institution and Transaction Men
. . . [his] writing . . . might be essential.' ―Bradley Babendir, NPR
'Ingenious and colorful . . . There are dazzling passages . . . Gems are
dug from the past.' ―The Economist'Transaction Man anchors three
periods of American capitalism to mini-bios of New Deal brain-truster
Adolf Berle, conservative economist Michael Jensen, and LinkedIn tech
guru Reid Hoffman . . . [performs] the impressive feat of elucidating
complex and significant developments in under 400 lively pages.'
―Robert Christgau, Bookforum'[An] excellent and unusually framed
economic history . . . This concise and cogent history of the theories
that have transformed the American economy makes a potentially dry
subject fascinating.' ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)'Through the
stories of individuals, often from varied neighborhoods, businesses, and
corporations, Lemann makes these experiences come alive . . . [an]
insightful business history.' ―Library Journal'A thorough, impressive
and hard look at the American economy and the people who most influenced
its arrival in the present moment.' ―Literary Hub“With his
characteristic fluidity of thought and of expression, Nicholas Lemann
has written a powerful book about how America really works―and

doesnâ€t. Part history, part reportage, part argument, “Transaction
Man― is original, compelling, and illuminating.― ―Jon Meacham,
author of The Soul of America“This fascinating book is destined to
become our eraâ€s most important and insightful explanation of the deep
forces disrupting our economy. Nicholas Lemann uses compelling stories
of real people combined with brilliant analysis to show how the rules
that shape our lives have changed. The author's narrative is riveting
and convincing ― as is his call for a renewed American pluralism. His
new way of thinking about our past and present leads to a new way of
thinking about the future we want. If you want to read one book to
understand America today, this is it.― ―Walter Isaacson
, author of Leonardo da Vinci and The Innovators'A brilliant, essential,
and rollicking read. Nicholas Lemann deftly guides the reader on a
fascinating excursion through some of the last centuryâ€s densest Big
Idea terrain. Blending incisive commentary with deliciously salacious
detail, Transaction Man thrums with whiz-kid New Dealers and post-war
management gurus, New Age Svengalis and Great Recession financial
prestidigitators, free-market mavens and Silicon Valley technotitans–and
the soaring and all-too-frequently silly nostrums with
which they have tried to jacket the blooming, buzzing confusion of the
modern world.' ―David M. Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
Freedom from Fear'Every so often there comes along a book that forces
you to reconsider what you thought you knew. Nick Lemannâ€s Transaction
Man is one of these books. Focusing our attention on short-term
visionaries and disrupters, activist professors, rogue economists, and
Silicon Valley lifers, Lemann revisits and revitalizes the economic
history of America since the New Deal.' ―David Nasaw, author of The
Patriarch “Brilliant and incisive, Transaction Man illuminates
Americaâ€s economic history through colorful stories of the thinkers
whose ideas, often stubbornly held, benefited a succession of wealthy
elites while failing ordinary people who were diligently trying to earn
a living. For anyone who thinks Wall Street has too much power, this
book explains how that power grew. Nicholas Lemann brings needed
