Description: As the popular mayor of the nation's hardest- to-govern city, Michael Bloomberg displayed the same pragmatic entrepreneurial sense that guided Bloomberg, L.P., his global media company, and remade the business of business news. This biography follows Bloomberg from his early years, illuminating the paradoxes that have marked his career: forced out of Wall Street giant Salomon Brothers, he built a business empire worth billions on his apparent defeat; despite his lifelong Democratic affiliation, he won office as a Republican; in overwhelmingly Democratic New York City, he became the most popular mayor of recent years. As Bloomberg approaches the end of his mayoralty, his past may hold the key to his future in business, philanthropy, and politics.
