Originally published in 2006, this book examines the collapse of the Enron Corp. and other financial scandals that arose in the wake of the market downturn in 2000. Part 1 reviews the market book and bust that preceded Enron’s collapse. It then describes the growth of Enron and the events that led to its sensational failure. Part 2 examines the role of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s full disclosure system in corporate governance and the role of accountants in that system. Part 3 reviews the meltdown in the telecoms sector and the accounting scandals that emerged. Part 4 traces the remarkable market recovery that followed the financial scandals and the resumption of the growth of finance in America.

‘Jerry Markham, as one of the legal academy’s leading commentators on financial issues, is uniquely qualified to write on Enron. [This book] provides a framework to understand and appreciate not only what caused the plethora of corporate scandals, but how society and the law should deal with these problems and avoid them in the future.’ Christian Johnson, Loyola University Chicago School of Law, USA. ‘This is a comprehensive and lucidly written account of a period that will stand out for years in the economic and regulatory history of the United States.’ Peter J. Wallison, American Enterprise Institute, USA.
