First sentence: As the end of the Internet bubble was followed in short order by the collapse of Enron, WorldCom, and other major corporations, the newspapers were filled with stories about the great market bubbles of the past.
Description: "Today's business environment poses unprecedented perils for the average American as for the first time ever, more than half of Americans now own stock. Identifying the problems of the past, Skeel offers a strikingly new diagnosis of the fundamental flaws in corporate America today, and of what can be done to fix them."--Jacket.
