Centered on Macklowe’s audacious, near–no-money-down acquisition of the GM Building, Vicky Ward delivers a gripping, real-life drama filled with secret deals, rivalries, and unchecked ambition. Based on hundreds of interviews with some of the most influential names in American real estate, this book reveals how excess and overconfidence fueled spectacular success—before triggering an equally spectacular collapse during the 2008 financial crisis. \u003cstrong data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"1026\"\u003eBuy in Kenya with fast delivery.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1050\"\u003eWhat you’ll learn:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1385\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1118\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1118\"\u003eHow extreme leverage and risk-taking drove the real estate boom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1183\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1183\"\u003eThe hidden deals and power struggles behind iconic buildings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1249\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1249\"\u003eWhy ego and ambition often undermine even the richest tycoons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1319\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1319\"\u003eHow the 2008 financial crisis unraveled elite real estate empires\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1385\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1385\"\u003eWhat this saga reveals about money, power, and human behavior\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1417\"\u003eWho should read this book:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1418\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1418\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003eBusiness and finance enthusiasts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1498\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1498\"\u003eReal estate professionals and investors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1501\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003eReaders interested in financial crises and elite power structures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1569\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003eFans of investigative business storytelling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1653\"\u003eWhy buy The Liar's Ball from Readers’ Republik:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1705\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1656\" data-end=\"1705\"\u003eAuthentic, original business and finance titles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1741\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1708\" data-end=\"1741\"\u003eFast delivery anywhere in Kenya\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1742\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003eCarefully curated books for serious readers and thinkers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Readers Republik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43004373499993,"sku":null,"price":5900.0,"currency_code":"KES","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/4292\/1049\/files\/4_b2406b6a-8e5d-4f30-8ce5-1abd0c34770a.jpg?v=1768996865","url":"https:\/\/readersrepublik.com\/products\/the-liars-ball-vicky-ward","provider":"Readers Republik","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
