Cosa è andato storto nel mondo degli affari americano alla fine del XX secolo? Fino alla primavera del 2001, Enron incarnava il trionfo della New Economy. Temuta dai rivali, venerata dagli investitori, Enron apparentemente non poteva sbagliare. I suoi profitti aumentavano ogni anno; il prezzo delle sue azioni aumentava sempre di più; i suoi leader venivano salutati come visionari. Poi una giovane scrittrice di Fortune, Bethany McLean, scrisse un articolo che poneva una semplice domanda: come fa esattamente Enron a fare soldi? Nel giro di un anno Enron stava affrontando l'umiliazione e la bancarotta, la più grande nella storia degli Stati Uniti, che fece perdere agli americani la fiducia in un sistema che premiava i top insider con milioni di dollari, mentre i piccoli investitori perdevano tutto. Fu rivelato che Enron era un'azienda i cui affari erano un'illusione, un'illusione che Wall Street era disposta ad accettare anche se sapeva qual era la verità. Questo libro, completamente aggiornato per la versione tascabile, racconta la straordinaria storia della caduta di Enron.

This book - fully updated for the paperback - tells the extraordinary story of Enron's fall. The fall of Enron was much more than a business scandal. Not only did the events of October 2001 have a more damaging effect on the markets than 9/11 but, like Watergate, it was an event that sent shivers throughout the whole world.
