The Modern Medusa

The Inside Story of How Wall Street Contributed to the Demise of Modern Day Capitalism

Originally conceived in 2000 following the implosion in the internet and telecom industries, The Modern Medusa is a 450-page narrative about Wall Street covering the years 1995-2011. It was written by a former Wall Streeter and includes numerous first person accounts of the events leading up to both the 2000 and 2008 market crashes. Given the trillions of dollars in collective personal losses suffered during that period, few punches were pulled during the creation and writing of the book. If you’re looking for a feel good read, pick up a similar book written by a CNBC broadcaster or financial journalist; if you’re trying to gain a better understanding of what actually led to the debacles, The Modern Medusa is a good place to start.
