The U.S. financial landscape was dominated by a series of high-stakes leveraged buyouts as firms replaced their equity with new fixed debt obligations. Cash-financed acquisitions and defensive share repurchases also decapitalized corporations. This trend culminated in the sensational debt-financed bidding for RJR-Nabisco, the largest leveraged buyout of all time, before dramatically reversing itself in the early 1990s with a rapid return to equity.This entertaining summary of the broad reshaping of U.S. corporate finance in the last decade and a half looks at three major issues: why corporations leveraged up in the first place, why and how the leverage wave came to an end, and what policy lessons are to be drawn.Using the Minsky-Kindleberger model as a framework, the authors interpret the rise and fall of leveraging as a financial market mania. In the course of chronicling the return to equity in the 1990s, they address a number of important corporate finance questions: How important was the return to equity in relieving corporations' debt burdens? How did the return to equity affect the ability of young high-tech firms to finance themselves without selling out to foreign firms? 000401882 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 000401882 650_0 $$aLeveraged buyouts$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000401882 650_0 $$aConsolidation and merger of corporations$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000401882 650_0 $$aCorporations$$zUnited States$$xFinance$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000401882 653__ $$aECONOMICS/Finance 000401882 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000401882 7001_ $$aRudd, Judith S. 000401882 7001_ $$aIacono, Frank. 000401882 852__ $$bebk$$hMIT Press 000401882 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/2476.001.0001$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 000401882 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 000401882 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:401882$$pGLOBAL_SET 000401882 980__ $$aBIB 000401882 980__ $$aEBOOK 000401882 982__ $$aEbook 000401882 983__ $$aOnline
