Synopsis
"I'd say you were a carnival barker, except that wouldn't be fair tocarnival barkers. A carnie will at least tell you up front that he's running a shell game. You, Mr. Lay, were running what purported to be the seventh largest corporation in America."-Senator Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL) to Enron CEO Kenneth Lay, Senate Commerce Science & Transportation's Subcommittee, Hearing on Enron, 2/12/02 The speed of Enron's rise and fall is truly astonishing and perhaps the single most important story of corporate failure in the twenty-first century. In Enron investigative journalist Loren Fox promises readers nothing short of the most compelling and insightful investigation into Enron's meteoric ascent-regarded by Wall Street and the media as the epitome of innovation-and its spectacular fall from grace. In a lively and authoritative manner, Fox discusses how the biggest corporate bankruptcy in American business history happened, why for so long no one (except for an enlightened few) saw it coming, and what its impact will be on financial markets, the U.S. economy, U.S. energy policy, and the public for years to come. With access to many company insiders, Fox's intriguing account of this corporate debacle also provides an overview of the corporate culture and business model that led to Enron's high-flying success and disastrous failure. The story of Enron is one that will reverberate in global financial and energy markets as well as in criminal and civil courts for years to come. Rife with all the elements of a classic thriller-scandal, dishonest accounting, personal greed, questionable campaign contributions, suicide-Enron captures the essence of a company that went too far too fast., The Enron story is one that will reverberate in global financial and energy markets and in criminal and civil courts for years to come. This is the 21st century version of the Keating scandal; this decade's LTCM. Investigative journalist Loren Fox provides the most compelling and insightful read into Enron's fall from grace., Die schonungslose Enthüllung des grö ten Unternehmenskonkurses in der Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten. "Enron: The Rise and Fall" analysiert den phänomenalen Aufstieg und spektakulären, jähen Absturz von Enron, einem Energieunternehmen, das bis zum Jahr 2000 vom Fortune Magazine sechsmal hintereinander zum innovativsten Unternehmen weltweit gekürt wurde. Gleichzeitig erzählt das Buch aber auch eine Unternehmensgeschichte: Es enthüllt zahlreiche Details über Enrons Geschäftsplan und Unternehmenskultur, die schlie lich in die Katastrophe geführt haben. Hier erfahren Sie in allen Einzelheiten, was passierte, warum es passierte, und die Hintergründe die zu dieser Tragödie führten, von der bislang noch niemand sagen kann, welche Auswirkungen sie langfristig auf die Finanzmärkte, die amerikanische Wirtschaft und Energiepolitik haben wird. Autor Loren Fox ist ein angesehener Journalist und verfügt über erstklassige Kontakte zu Enron-Insidern. Dieses Buch ist ultimative Pflichtlektüre für Firmenchefs, Führungskräfte und Investoren., Praise for Enrom The Rise and Fall "A sober and clear-eyed book . . . Fox places the unspooling of Enron in its market-history context, and his book has gravitas." Barron's "Offers the most detailed explanation of Enron as a business." The New York Times "A solid, intelligent, and fair account of the hubris that made Enron famous and important, then crazy and crooked." Martin Mayer, author of The Fed and The Bankers "[Fox's] candid, in-depth examination of Enron's remarkable evolution, corporate culture, and ultimate downfall is in itself remarkable for being both scrupulously detailed while remaining a clear and enjoyable read." ERisk.com The word "Enron" has officially entered the American vocabulary not as the symbol of excellence and innovation that Chairman Kenneth Lay envisioned but as the corporate embodiment of greed, excess, and unprecedented fraud. Never in history has one company plummeted so quickly from the heights of power and glory to the depths of public humiliation, bankruptcy, and criminal investigation, dragging so many individuals and firms down with it. Simultaneously fascinating and frightening, Enron: The Rise and Fall provides today's most illuminating and entertaining look on what was right and wrong with late twentieth-century corporate America.
