Book Presentation: Mike Bloomberg by Joyce Purnick
Book Abstract
Mike Bloomberg: Money, Power, Politics is Purnick’s analysis of what lies behind the motivation of Mike Bloomberg, an unconventional super-achiever who became one of America’s richest and most generous philanthropists. A self-made mogul who revolutionized the way the investment industry analyzes data, Bloomberg shifted his attention to politics, becoming the mayor of the country’s most demanding city without any prior political experience and doing a formidable job. This book offers a behind-the-scenes look at Bloomberg’s life story, something unknown to many because of his extreme privacy and well-guarded circle.

Summary of Mike Bloomberg (Joyce Purnick)
Getting Out of Medford
Growing up restless in Medford, Massachusetts, a small suburban city that could not contain him, Mike Bloomberg set the pattern early. He was impatient, a mini-maverick, and a loner. He wasn’t a great student, but he was willful, serious, and competitive. He was an unsentimental type and very disciplined, always looking ahead. Every setback he saw, he turned into a platform for another initiative. Bloomberg attributes his stoicism to both his parents, but rarely speaks about his father (some believe it was his father, a high school graduate who worked hard for very little reward, that spurred Bloomberg’s desire to be wealthy).
It was as an engineering student at Johns Hopkins that Bloomberg came into his own, channeling his boyhood impatience into more productive endeavors. He organized everything he could get his hands on; his fraternity, his senior class, and the campus fraternity council. He made plans to go to Harvard Business School and told friends he would become the country’s first Jewish president.
