The definitive volume on Enron's amazing rise and scandalous fall, from an award-winning team of Fortune investigative reporters.
There were dozens of books about Watergate, but only All the President's Men gave readers the full story, with all the drama and nuance and exclusive reporting. And thirty years later, if you're going to read only one book on Watergate, that's still the one. Today, Enron is the biggest business story of our time, and Fortune senior writers Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind are the new Woodward and Bernstein.
Remarkably, it was just two years ago that Enron was thought to epitomize a great New Economy company, with its skyrocketing profits and share price. But that was before Fortune published an article by McLean that asked a seemingly innocent question: How exactly does Enron make money? From that point on, Enron's house of cards began to crumble. Now, McLean and Elkind have investigated much deeper, to offer the definitive book about the Enron scandal and the fascinating people behind it.
Meticulously researched and character driven, Smartest Guys in the Room takes the reader deep into Enron's past-and behind the closed doors of private meetings. Drawing on a wide range of unique sources, the book follows Enron's rise from obscurity to the top of the business world to its disastrous demise. It reveals as never before major characters such as Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling, and Andy Fastow, as well as lesser known players like Cliff Baxter and Rebecca Mark. Smartest Guys in the Room is a story of greed, arrogance, and deceit-a microcosm of all that is wrong with American business today. Above all, it's a fascinating human drama that will prove to be the authoritative account of the Enron scandal.

评分#看到第六章 后面不看了 [2007年2月第一版] 总结: 性格决定命运,安然的性格,或者说安然董事长的性格决定了公司的命运。肯·莱擅长于人际交往,而不是具体经营。正因如此才请来了斯基林这个来自麦卡锡的天才咨询家——一个同样长于分析而短于经营的人,并认为光为了他天...
评分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”。 ...
