Deal of the Week: Gray is the new Blackstone

Deal of the Week: Gray is the new Blackstone

(Bloomberg) -- Ed Hammond is joined by Jason Kelly, Bloomberg's New York bureau chief, and private equity reporter Melissa Mittelman, to talk about the changes underfoot at Blackstone. The three look at what the world's largest asset manger's plan to appoint Jon Gray to company president says about the future direction of Blackstone, and what it means for the private equity in general. They also tackle the question of whether private equity, with its hundreds of billions of dollars under management, can really still be considered an industry characterized by entrepreneurial zeal. Have the Barbarians at the Gate become just regular corporate citizens?
