Goodbye Gordon Gekko: how to find your fortune without losing your soul

Goodbye Gordon Gekko is a guidebook showing how the best manifestations of ambition, entrepreneurship and mentoring can lead to a life that fulfills more than financial obligations and leaves a legacy to which others can aspire. Gordon Gekko of the film Wall Street has become a symbol in popular culture for unrestrained greed (with the signature line, ‘Greed, for lack of a better word, is good’), often in fields outside corporate finance. This book is the antidote. It will use what Scaramucci has learned to guide Americans to not only avoid the kind of crisis that briefly crippled the U.S. economy but to build a core set of values that will allow them to find wealth on their own terms. His solution lies in understanding people, capital, and culture and being able to use that knowledge to enrich your life, financially as well as spiritually. Whatdoes that mean practically? It means developing the capacity to bounce back from failure in the true spirit of entrepreneurship, building a circle of competence made of those you trust; and mentoring others and becoming part of theircircle. It means seeing capitalism as an art and businesses as creations and vocations and not simply as levers to feeding self-esteem.Anthony Scaramucci is the Founder and Managing Partner of Skybridge Capital, LLC, a New York-based alternative investment management company, which is currently focused on partnering with emerging managers.
