About the Author
Felix G. Rohatyn is a distinguished American financier, diplomat, and author whose career has bridged the worlds of high-stakes investment banking and public service. Born in Vienna in 1928, he emigrated to the United States as a child and rose to prominence as a partner at Lazard Frères, where he orchestrated landmark corporate rescues and mergers that shaped modern Wall Street. Serving as the U.S. Ambassador to France from 1997 to 2000, Rohatyn's insights into policy and economics have informed his writing, blending sharp analysis with personal anecdotes from decades of navigating political and financial turbulence. His memoir Dealings: A Political and Financial Life offers a candid exploration of his influential roles in saving New York City from bankruptcy in the 1970s and advising on national economic strategies, reflecting a life dedicated to pragmatic problem-solving at the intersection of money and power.
