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
