Chapter 7 Part 3: Berkshire 2010-2011
The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway by Adam J. Mead (ISBN 978-0-85719-912-6)
2010 and 2011 are the post-crisis reset. Berkshire swallows a railroad whole. The stock market yawns. Buffett starts hiring successors, buying IBM, and repurchasing shares. One trusted lieutenant falls over a Lubrizol trading scandal. Mead covers the triumph and the reputational dent in the same breath.
