From some of our most talented and perceptive crime writers—an entertaining anthology of true stories from the front lines of the war zone that has become American business today. • “Lovely and juicy. It's all about egos, excess, lack of caution.” —USA Today
A year ago it would have been difficult to conceive of an anthology of stories solely devoted to corporate malfeasance. Today, the challenge has been to keep it confined to one volume. From P.J. O’Rourke’s hilarious “How To Stuff A Wild Enron,” in which he compares trying to understand Enron’s finances to trying to buy an airline ticket at the best price, to Marc Peyser’s’s perceptive look at that American institution, Martha Stewart, to Joe Nocera’s investigation of how it all went wrong, the stories here are sometimes infuriating, often entertaining, and invariably informative.
Includes:
• “The New Bull Market” by Michael Kinsley from
Slate
• “In Praise of Corporate Corruption Boom” by Michael Lewis from
Bloomberg News
• “HardBall” by David McClintick from
Forbes
• “The Accountants’ War” by Jane Mayer from the
New Yorker
• “Enron Debacle Highlights the Trouble With Stock Options” by Thomas Stewart from
Business 2.0
• “Investigating ImClone” by Alex Prud’homme from
Vanity Fair

“This is worth a read even if you take it chunk by chunk. They are all digestible nuggets of financial misdeeds …. The details are lovely and juicy. It's all about egos, excess, lack of caution.” --
