This book tells the story of Enron. I am sure most people have heard of Enron. And not in a good way I am afraid. So one might ask why read a book about a bunch of sociopaths who cheated their employees out of millions? Well first off, I am into psychology and found the book fascinating from that perspective. I have always hated the corporate world and the people of Enron are a great example of all there is to hate about it. But the book goes into great detail about exactly what happened and it is chilling. One wonders what company or companies maybe doing the same thing right now. In a world, where the rich, the powerful seem to get away with just about everything this is a powerful read, even if it made me hate corporate America ever that much more. There is also a Docufilm on same subject, same title and it is worth watching just as this book is worth reading. I don't love true crime, unless it's white-collar crime, then I am all in. Recently, I listened to the Wall Street Journal's Bad Bets podcast and the first season is about Enron. Listening to that encouraged me to pick up this book, which I actually added to my TBR six years ago. This is very well done and I feel like I have a really good understanding of what happened in this case. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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.
