“Private equity plays a crucial role in modern economies. What Sebastien Canderle explains is that the sector’s performance depends on a very specific set of value triggers, first among them the optimal use of leverage. Get the mix wrong, however, and as the book’s well-researched case studies demonstrate, even the most experienced fund managers can come to regret their foray into leveraged buyouts. The Debt Trap is filled with grounded analysis and is an authoritative book for PE practitioners and scholars alike.”
