Summary
Brand-new stories by: John Burdett, Henry Blodget, Peter Blauner, Jason Starr, Megan Abbott, Reed Farrel Coleman, Jim Fusilli, Lauren Sanders, and others.From a distance, it looks like such a clean, well-lighted place—a place where decisions to buy or sell are guided by formulas and subtle strategy. A place where cool reason prevails. And sure, that's one version of Wall Street—call it the CNBC edition. But this book is about another place—a place where fear and greed have always held sway. Think WorldCom or Tyco; think Enron. Think Gordon Gekko.Wall Street Noir casts a stark light on the darkest ends of the Street, to illuminate a place whose boundaries have spread well beyond Trinity Church and the East River. In today's relentlessly global economy, Wall Street is everywhere: a borderless, virtual city encompassing Midtown Manhattan, Main Street, U.S.A., the maquilas of Honduras, the office towers of Shanghai, and the brothels of Bangkok.
