Bernie Madoff and the Crisis: The Public Trial of Capitalism (Paperback)
This is a critical investigation into the social significance of Bernie Madoff Ponzi's scheme. Eren analyzes media coverage of the case alongside original interviews with dozens of journalists and editors involved in the reportage, the SEC Director of Public Affairs, and Bernie Madoff himself to offer fresh insight into the 2008 crisis, how we have or have not come to terms with it, and what we might yet gain from the case of the century.
Colleen P. Eren is Associate Professor of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York, LaGuardia Community College.
