Roger Lowenstein, Long Term Capital Management Ten Years Later: What Have (and Haven't) We Learned
On September 23, 1998, the boardroom of the New York Fed was a tense place. Around the table sat the heads of every major Wall Street bank, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, and representatives from numerous European banks, each of whom had been summoned to discuss a highly unusual prospect: rescuing what had, until then, been the envy of them all, the extraordinarily successful bond-trading firm of Long-Term Capital Management. Roger Lowenstein's When Genius Failed is the gripping story of the Fed's unprecedented move, the incredible heights reached by LTCM, and the firm's eventual dramatic demise.
Roger Lowenstein, author of three bestselling books, reported for The Wall Street Journal for more than a decade and wrote the Journal's stock market column, "Heard on the Street," and also its "Intrinsic Value" column. He is now a regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine, SmartMoney, and Portfolio, among other publications. His new book, While America Aged: How Pension Debts Ruined General Motors, Stopped the NYC Subways, Bankrupted San Diego, and Loom as the Next Financial Crisis, is due out in May 2008.
