Synopsis: A year ago it would have been difficult to conceive of an anthology of stories soley devoted to corporate malfeasance. Today, the challenge has been to keep it confined to one volume. From P. J. O’Rourke’s hilarious “How To Stuff A Wild Enron,” in which he compares trying to understand Enron’s finances to trying to buy an airline ticket at the best price, to Marc Peyser’s’s perceptive look at that American institution, Martha Stewart, to Joe Nocera’s investigation of how it all went wrong, the stories here are sometimes infuriating, often entertaining, and invariably informative. Best Business Crime Writing Of The Yearis a report from the front lines of the war zone that has become American business today by some of our most talented and perceptive writers. Includes: • “The New Bull Market” by Michael Kinsley fromSlate • “In Praise of Corporate Corruption Boom” by Michael Lewis fromBloomberg News •“HardBall” by David McClintick fromForbes •“The Accountants’ War” by Jane Mayer from theNew Yorker •“Enron Debacle Highlights the Trouble With Stock Options” by Thomas Stewart fromBusiness 2. 0 •“Investigating ImClone” by Alex Prud’homme fromVanity Fair
