The Business World circa 2000
Two book recommendations:Conspiracy of Fools, by Kurt Eichenwald
dot.bomb: My Days and Nights at an Internet Goliath, by David Kuo
The former is a fascinating, detailed account of the rise and fall of Enron. A must read for anyone interested in corporate America. (more posting on Enron to come)
The latter is an amusing firsthand account of Value America, an internet company which experienced one of the more spectacular flame-outs in recent history when the tech bubble burst in mid-2000.
In certain respects, both books are eerily reminiscent of the recent Jim Carrey movie "Fun With Dick and Jane".
