About the book
Author Cristiane Correa traces how three Brazilian businessmen built the largest empire in the history of Brazilian capitalism within 40 years and then moved onto the world stage. The account starts when Banco Garantia was founded in the 1970s and runs to the present day, and the deals it covers involve companies such as Anheuser-Busch, Burger King and H.J. Heinz. Correa describes the management method the trio developed, built on meritocracy, simplicity and relentless cost cutting, which their employees follow with zeal. The culture is efficient and merciless and tolerates no mediocre work, yet people who deliver exceptional results can become partners and make a fortune.
Warren Buffett was reported to have recommended it at the 2014 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting, after the three founders of 3G Capital had joined him in buying H.J. Heinz.
