Description

From a distance - on television, say, or in the pages of the business section - it looks like such a clean, well-lighted place. A place where decisions to buy or sell are guided by formulas and subtle strategy, through thorough consideration of available facts. This book is about another place, just beneath that shiny surface. A place where fear and greed have always held sway. Think Enron. Think Gordon Gekko. Patrick Bateman. A doppelganger; a broken mirror-image; an evil twin. Wall Street Noir.
