Private Equity, Explained
Mitt Romney, back in his Bain Capital days.
Today, in the second of our two-part series on private equity, we take another look at Bain Capital — the firm co-founded by Mitt Romney.
Last Tuesday, in the first part of the series, we looked at a deal Bain did during Romney's tenure that went bad. Today, we tell the story of a deal that turned out better.
And we dig into the arguments about private equity's broad role in the economy.
