More than ever we want to know what's going on in our financial institutions and mega-corporations. People want to know if they are financially secure, if the companies they are dealing with are trading ethically, what impact corporate scandals have and how to prevent scandal.
Swindler's List book tells the stories of a definitive collection of corporate rogues, some of whom made a degree of personal gain from their misdeeds and others who, quite literally, broke the bank. The text provides the facts, sometimes told in the words of the protaganists, often by those who most closely chartered their downfall and sometimes by insiders from the regulatory authorities who dealt with the cases giving a broad spread of informed opinion. This is supplemented by an overlay of knowledge from the authors, with their personal experience of commerce and psychology.
This book outlines how each scam worked, what made it spiral out of control and what could have been done to halt its progress. As well as being an enjoyable read, business people can learn how to prevent future scandal by learning from the mistakes and loopholes of the past.
