Executive Greed: Examining Business Failures that Contributed to the Economic Crisis

This book explores the contribution of corporate CEOs and their top lieutenants toward business success and failure. By looking at the three most recent economic crises, the S&L crisis, the dot-com bubble, and the recent subprime mortgage disaster, the author explains why and how corporate managers led their organizations toward disasters in the long-run, and explains the recent destructive collaboration within the organization, across the industry, and between business and government.
