Having worked at an Enron Subsidiary (Azurix) in a then "cutting edge B2B marketplace (WaterDesk.com)" during the Summer And Fall of 2000 - I am continually amazed at the ways Enron achieved its positive (pre 2001) and negative (2001 and beyond) notoriety.
While the closest I ever got to the financial dealings of Enron was in the form of my paycheck from Azurix, I did have a chance to see first hand some of the mannerisms, perks, and people that have become well known since the fall of Enron. To that end - I just finished reading my fifth book on the Enron debacle - 24 Days: How Two Wall Street Journal Reporters Uncovered The Lies That Destroyed Faith In Corporate America - and this book is by far the best at simply explaining both the complex way Enron did business, and the dogged way in which it spun those dealings to those outside of Enron.
Other books you might consider if interested in this topic are:
- Pipe Dreams: Greed. Ego, And The Death Of Enron
- Power Failure: The Inside Story Of The Collapse Of Enron
- Enron: The Rise And Fall
- Anatomy Of Greed: The Unshredded Truth From An Enron Insider
Additionally, a new book (The Smartest Guys In The Room: The Amazing Rise And Scandalous Fall Of Enron) is due out in October - and I most certainly will add it to my growing Enron collection.
