CARLYLE GROUP

“In 1987, after a short career in politics, [David] Rubenstein founded the Carlyle [Group], building it around his Washington relationships and those of his partners—‘access capitalism,’ Michael Lewis called it, in a critical 1993 profile of Rubenstein in The New Republic. For the most part, Rubenstein has received favorable press coverage, including widespread praise for his charitable work.”
