The Bloomberg terminal is ubiquitous on Wall Street. The man whose name is on each terminal, and who is today the multi-billionaire Mayor of New York City, tells the story about how he's built his business and his life.

Brash, aggressive, and supremely self-confident, Michael Bloomberg, the visionary leader of the world's fastest-growing media empire, has been hailed as the new standard for what it takes to win in the Information Age. Dismissed from Salomon Brothers in 1981, Bloomberg immediately took his money and acerbic personality and started Bloomberg L.P. Bolstered by a $30 million investment from Merrill Lynch, the company and the man have been sprinting ahead of the pack ever since. Only twenty years after founding, he's at the top of his industry.

Every entrepreneur, every aspiring entrepreneur, must read this book.
