A classic investigative narrative of how Enron's business
practices led to its own downfall, Pipe Dreams reveals what
went wrong not just on the books, but in the minds and
hearts of the company's managers. The self-destruction of Enron, once America's
seventh-largest company, was the most spectacular failure of
a company in a generation, with devastating impact on
workers, investors, and the American economy. Anyone
interested in business or in our culture needs to know just
how it happened. Robert Bryce's Pipe Dreams, widely praised
as the best book published on Enron, is a hard-hitting,
incisive, and compelling narrative that explains the
company's rise and fall while illuminating the
personalities, egos, and dreams of the people who built the
company and of those who destroyed it. In a new afterword to the paperback edition, Bryce also
examines the current "state of the suits" and their enormous
cost to the American public. "Finally, an Enron book that actually explains what happened
at Enron," said Publishers Weekly: "This isn't just the
first book to make sense out of the debacle; it's a vivid
cautionary tale about the consequences of the lurid
excesses-personal and professional."
