具体描述
Just as Watergate was the defining political story of its time, so Enron is the biggest business story of our time. And just as All the President’s Men was the one Watergate book that gave readers the full story, with all the drama and nuance, The Smartest Guys in the Room is the one book you have to read to understand this amazing business saga.

读后感
正如作者在按语里说的，这本书其实是关于人的故事，“安然传奇是一个关于人性弱点的故事，是关于人性中的傲慢、贪婪和狂妄无知的故事；是任由野心胡作非为的故事……是一些精明人士自以为下一次赌博可以掩盖他们上一次灾难的故事——而且这些人没有承认他们是错的”。 ...
评分I have to say it's one of the best, if not the best. By digging through the exciting/quick rise, gradual corruption, and at last the seemly all-of-a-sudden collapse, this book reveals before you the intriguing life inside a giant company, human greed and bl...
评分这几乎是我所知道的同类小说中写的最好的一本。资料详尽，线索清晰，主题明确。最主要的是，作者把安然的各类操作手法写的很清楚，让门外汉也看得明白，看得出来作者真的懂。

评分大家对于安然也许象对于一个过气明星那样的缺乏兴趣，在豆瓣上对于这本书的关注也可称廖廖。我一直想知道关于这个能源巨人崩塌的一切，出于强烈的好奇心。合上全书才知道，安然的倒下和能源实在没有太多的瓜葛，这个巨人也只是一个用气球吹出来的巨人的pose，如果没有四周的绳...

story behind enron
评分很久没读到这么好的书了。看到结局的时候正在从伦敦回香港的长途飞机上。在又一次金融危机的余波之时看这本书，真是别有一番感慨，感叹这世界仍未改变，无论遭遇多少次危机，人类社会不仅无法吸取教训，甚至越陷越深。看这本书的初衷，是想对安然事件有全面了解、对当时事件报道过程有了解，以期为自己将要做的调查报道找到一个非典型样本、勇气还有灵感。现在的我深陷一个调查中，最近六周的时间，为之疯狂、为之茶饭不思。最后到底会走到哪，我也不知道。

评分sobering review
评分History always repeats itself. As long as there is conflict of interest,excess returns, smart assholes who think they know better, investors/customers will be screwed up again and again.It is human nature after all. And how do you keep yourself from this? Acting non-human - be fearful when others are greedy, ask why and learn from history..
