review:
Fascinating, a great follow-up to Lords of Finance. The intro & jacket mentioned Madoff several times, I assume because that’s what’s in the news, but the story reminds me much more of Enron. There were real products & businesses in there, but everything went wrong because people — in this case Kreuger — wanted to get fancy. Engaging telling of a amazing story.
