摘要
This was one of my favorite episodes ever.
Bethany McLean broke the Enron story & has written some of the best finance books out there.
We discuss:
- The astounding similarities between Enron & FTX,
- How visionaries are just frauds who succeed,
- What caused 2008, and whether we are headed for a new crisis,
- Why there’s too many venture capitalists and not enough short sellers,
- And why history keeps repeating itself.
