"A look at American financial markets focuses on the troubling trends and runaway greed that seem to be infecting American business."
"Law professor and financial expert Frank Partnoy shows how the roots of today's global financial crisis can be found in Wall Street's "lost decade"--The time in the late 1980s and 1990s when the business world quietly made the transition from old-school Wall Street to the current complex-financial-product chaos. The fallout from this shift has produced every modern-day financial scandal, including the ones at Bear Stems, Lehman, and AIG. Infectious Greed tells this story by illuminating the linkage between the implosion of major institutions ranging from Bankers Trust to Barings Bank to Orange County, California to Long-Term Capital Management to Enron to WorldCom, charting how each new level of financial risk and complexity obscured the sickness of corporate America. Ultimately, Partnoy proves, the financial crisis of 2008 was all but inevitable--but there are some key policies we can still adopt in order to save our financial system.--From publisher description."@en

"From the bestselling author of F.I.A.S.C.O., a riveting chronicle of the rise of dangerous financial instruments and the growing crisis in American business The still-unfolding financial story is terrifying. One by one, major corporations such as Enron, Global Crossing, and Worldcom are imploding all around us, prey to a greed-driven culture and dubious or illegal corporate finance and accounting. Our financial system has suddenly reached a perilous crossroads. In a compelling and disturbing narrative, Frank Partnoy brings to bear all of his skills and experience as a securities attorney, financial analyst, law professor, and bestselling author to tell the story of the rise of the trading instruments and corporate financial structures that now imperil the economic health of the country. Starting in the mid-1980s with the introduction of the first proto-derivatives, and taking us through such high-profile disasters as Barings Bank and Long Term Capital Management, Partnoy traces a seamless progression to today's dangerous manipulations. He documents how each new level of financial risk and complexity obscured the sickness of the company in question, and required ever more ingenious deceptions. The story becomes more alarming with each passing day, but Partnoy offers a clear vision of how we can step back from the precipice."@en
"First published in 2003, Infectious Greed examined how our greed-driven culture led to the generation of massive profits, but also to unprecedented levels of risk, widespread deception, and high profile disasters like Enron and Worldcom. In the wake of the 2008-9 financial crisis, Partnoy's analysis of how major companies obscured the reality from shareholders by disguising risk and side-stepping regulations, is more pertinent than ever. Beginning in the mid-1980s with the introduction of the first proto-derivatives, Partnoy gives an intelligent and thorough account of the dangerous manipulati."@en
