Rezensionen
'Jerry Markham, as one of the legal academy's leading commentators on financial issues, is uniquely qualified to write on Enron. [This book] provides a framework to understand and appreciate not only what caused the plethora of corporate scandals, but how society and the law should deal with these problems and avoid them in the future.' Christian Johnson, Loyola University Chicago School of Law, USA.

'This is a comprehensive and lucidly written account of a period that will stand out for years in the economic and regulatory history of the United States.' Peter J. Wallison, American Enterprise Institute, USA.
