The Babel that was Enron offers a compelling and thoroughly researched account of one of the most notorious corporate collapses in modern history. Moving beyond the headlines, the book unravels the intricate financial maneuvers, distinctive corporate culture, influential media dynamics, and deep-seated ideological blind spots that enabled Enron’s transformation from Wall Street darling to enduring symbol of greed, systemic corporate failure, and institutional self-deception.
