When Genius Failed
Rating: (Not Rated)
An excellent description, not only of the fall of LTCM, but also about the money culture on Wall Street and elsewhere in the world. I think this is better than Lewis' Liars Poker in describing the mood of the investment bankers. Absolutely worth a read, but be warned that the author sometimes get carried away in a verbose mumbo-jumbo.
