When Genius Failed

Books like this are why I almost never read fiction, which seems contrived. What is better than unvarnished history and facts to make a book so enjoyable. I wish this book had been longer!

Subtitled "The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Management", this book by Roger Lowenstein was written in 2000 and is even richer because of the way it translates to the housing bubble and subsequent financial crisis. Proving there is nothing new under the sun, one could lift entire paragraphs and seamlessly place them in a book written in 2011 about the previous decade.
