Sinossi
What went wrong with American business at the end of the 20th century?
Until the spring of 2001, Enron epitomized the triumph of the New Economy. Feared by rivals, worshiped by investors, Enron seemingly could do no wrong; its leaders were hailed as visionaries. Then, in March 2001 a young Fortune writer, Bethany McLean, wrote an article posing a simple question - how, exactly, does Enron make its money?
Within a year it was revealed that Enron was a company whose business was an illusion, fuelled by billions of dollars in transactions and off-balance deals that stretched-and broke- the rules. Scandal and investigation led to humiliation and bankruptcy, the largest in US history. It was an event that sent shivers around the world, tainted the President, and called into question a system that rewarded top insiders with millions of dollars, while small investors lost everything.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Codice articolo mon0000003926
