The Smartest Guys in the Room
Bethany McLean, 2003
movie vs book
Alex Gibney, 2005
Enron dives from the seventh largest US company to bankruptcy in less than a year in this tale told chronologically. Along the way, we watch Enron game California’s deregulated electricity market, get a free pass from Arthur Andersen, use greed to manipulate banks and brokerages, and hear from both Presidents Bush what great guys these are.
