New York: PublicAffairs, 2009. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xiii, [1], 272, ][2] pages. A Note on Sources. Bibliography. Notes. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Frank Partnoy is an American legal scholar. Professor Frank Partnoy is the George E. Barrett Professor of Law and Finance and is the director of the Center on Corporate and Securities Law at the University of San Diego . He is one of the world's leading experts on the complexities of modern finance and financial market regulation. He worked as a derivatives structurer at Morgan Stanley and CS First Boston during the mid-1990s. . Since 1997, he has been a law professor at the University of San Diego, and an expert writing and speaking about markets to Congress, regulators, academics, and investors. He has written numerous opinion pieces for The New York Times and the Financial Times, and more than two dozen scholarly articles published in academic journals including The Journal of Finance. Ivar Kreuger, the infamous "Match King", is remembered as the most colorful and compelling business personality of the roaring 1920s. From 1929 to 1932, he was the most talked-about business man in the world, for good reason. Wealthier than Morgan and as generous as Rockefeller, he miraculously survived the Great Crash, only to be found, one dark Paris morning, with a bullet through his heart. Opinions about Kreuger were deeply divided: hero or villain, innovator or fraudster, suicide or murder victim. Kreuger was known as the "Match King" because he held monopolies on the sale of matches in many countries, but his financial empire extended to banking, construction, film, mining, paper, railways, and telephones. He was a statesman as well as a financier, and usurped Jack Morgan as the leading lender to Europe. He rescued France from bankruptcy, and nearly saved Germany. He charmed everyone, from President Hoover to Greta Garbo to the journalists who put his boyish face on the covers of Time and The Saturday Evening Post. Kreuger favored perception over reality. He believed financial statements were an art, not a science. When asked to name his three rules for success in business, Kreuger advised "silence, more silence, and still more silence." Unfortunately, the silence killed, and by the end Kreuger's shares were worth just pennies. Historians, including John Kenneth Galbraith and Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., labeled Kreuger the greatest fraud in history.
