Billionaire investor Warren Buffett will lend his star power to help promote his friend Hank Paulson’s upcoming book “On the Brink: Inside the Race to Stop the Collapse of the Global Financial System“
Paulson, the former U.S. treasury secretary, is set to release his book about the financial events of last fall on Feb. 1. The full title is “On the Brink: Inside the Race to Stop the Collapse of the Global Financial System.”
Buffett is a good friend of Paulson’s from the latter’s days at Goldman Sachs. The two communicated frequently during last year’s crisis, Andrew Ross Sorkin shows in his excellent book about the crisis, “Too Big to Fail.”
The Omaha World-Herald reports that Buffett will appear with Paulson at a Feb. 9 event in Omaha sponsored by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
The two men will talk about the economy and take questions. Paulson will talk about the book.
The meeting is less than a week after Paulson’s book is set to be released and is sure to draw ample publicity that should help with sales of “On the Brink.”
