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.

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...

評分此书积灰10年,当年安然的爆发案还是深深震撼了整个金融届的,以至于其后诸多监管法案和对会计准则标准的制订,更甚至于审计事务所对各自客户报表审核力度的加大,舞弊,管理层凌驾于控制之上,关联交易,这些词成为人人挂在嘴边的风险重头戏。怀着想搞清楚到底安然发生了什么...

評分安然神话是如何破灭的 2007-05-21 来源:南方都市报 “诚信:我们公开,诚实并真挚地为顾客服务,为未来而工作。我们说到做到,我们信守承诺。”这段话摘录自安然公司的1998年年报,如果不是牛市的终结暴露出安然如锦繁华背后的败絮,安然或许还会继续书写类似...
Enron興衰史,波瀾壯闊,即便是在十多年後、用現在的眼光看去,Enron仍是一個獨一無二的行業領導者和innovator。兩位作者文筆流暢、言簡意賅、多數時候隻是闡明事實,留給讀者無限的思考空間。time is a flat circle, enron的潰敗絕非個案,但卻是最令人目瞪口呆的一個,同樣的事情仍在重復、繼續,what had happened will happen again and again
评分剛看完第十一章,真是觸目驚心。在利益麵前,華爾街的投資銀行們錶現的和房市高泡沫時追漲的散戶差不多:知道真正估值沒這麼高,知道裏麵有欺詐。但沒關係,隻要我不是接最後一棒的就好。The smartest guys in the room. The title says all.
评分還好瞭
评分看完Bad Blood之後看這本,感覺何其相似。前半部分真是。。good old days,有錢大傢賺。後麵大廈崩塌的時候真是樹倒猢猻散。聽Audio book十分有感覺,大概是有點偵探小說意味,財務會計相關詞匯也能理解。覺得最神奇的就是真的有幾個拿瞭很多錢因為政治鬥爭失敗離開的,但是之後再看真是太幸運瞭,否則都得進監獄。還有個亞洲人,超級神秘,拿瞭好多錢最後沒進監獄,還在科羅拉多買瞭山和農場,NB。
评分啃瞭半年終於趁假期看完瞭,條理清晰分析的也很透徹有邏輯,作者也是真的下功夫找瞭無數資料和細節內容,看瞭13年再版結尾對08金融危機的延伸更是感慨,人性的貪婪真是永遠不會改變
