The author of the award-winning trilogy A Financial History of the
United States now provides a definitive new reference or the major
failures of American corporate governance at the start of the 21st
century. An essential resource for students, teachers and
professionals in business finance, and securities law, this
exhaustive work provides in-depth coverage of the collapse of the
Enron Corporation and other financial scandals that erupted in the
wake of the market downturn of 2000. The authoritative volume
traces the market boom and bust that preceded Enron's collapse, as
well as the aftermath of that failure, including the Enron
bankruptcy proceedings, the prosecution of Enron officials, and
Enron's role in the California energy crisis. It examines the role
of the SEC's full disclosure system in corporate governance, and
the role of accountants in that system, including Arthur Andersen
LLP, the Enron auditor that was destroyed after it was accused of
obstructing justice. The author chronicles the meltdown in the
telecom sector that gave rise to accounting scandals at Nortel,
Lucent, Qwest, Global Crossing, Adelphia, and WorldCom. Computer
Associates, AOL Time Warner, Vivendi, HealthSouth, and Hollinger.
Markham also covers such Wall Street scandals as the Martha Stewart
trial, the financial analyst conflicts, and the mutual fund trading
abuses. He analyzes the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation that was adopted
in response to these scandals, the burdens it imposes, and
continuing flaws in full disclosure. Markham also traces the
remarkable market recovery that followed the scandals and addresses
the misguided efforts of corporate governance reformers that led to
the abuses.
