Mike Moritz, the famed venture capital investor at Sequoia Capital, has published an opinion piece on the New York Times called "Stephen Scharzman's Bad Business Advice." In this opinion piece, he takes a swipe at the leveraged buyout business, which is now known as private equity. He focuses on the amount of debt used in these transactions and the attendant cost-cutting that often includes layoffs. I have met Mike Moritz on a couple of occasions, and found him to be a very smart and opinionated person. His piece is worth a read, even if you don't agree with his positions.
