The authors trace the history of financial scandals from the early days of the United States through the Enron/WorldCom debacle, the financial panic of 2008, and the Bernie Madoff scandal. The book exposes themes common to all financial scandals, which remain astonishingly unchanged over more than two centuries--greed, hubris, media connections, self-interested politicians, and booms-gone-bust.
