When Genius Failed by Roger Lowenstein
Picking up where Liars Poker left off (literally, in the bond dealers desks of Salomon Brothers) the story of Long-Term Capital Management is of a group of elite investors who believed they could beat the market and, like alchemists, create limitless wealth for themselves and their partners.'A must-read thriller for anyone who works, or invests in marketsIt is a story of how arrogance can drive greed and fear to extremes.' Scotsman
'Richly textured and lucid…A riveting account that reaches beyond the market landscape to say something universal about risk and triumph, about hubris and failure.' New York Times
'Lowenstein has written a squalid and fascinating tale of world-class greed and, above all, hubris.' Business Week
'This book is story-telling journalism at its best' The Economist
Roger Lowenstein has reported for the Wall Street Journal for more than a decade and is a frequent contributor to the New York Times and The New Republic. He is the author of Buffet: the Making of an American Capitalist.
