This is a tale of greed, skulduggery and conspiracy in high places during the "roaring eighties", when Wall Street was shaken from top to bottom by the radical methods of Michael Milken's Junk Bond Revolution. This book argues that, although the junk bond was undoubtedly exploited by cynical and greedy operators, Milken himself was a man with a genuine vision of how the capitalist system could benefit ordinary Americans, and that he was the victim of a conspiracy engineered by corporate and financial power-brokers anxious to protect their own positions.

What do Michael Milken and Martha Stewart have in common? What was the most outrageous party thrown by a financial baron of the twentieth century? Which US war hero president became party to, and victim of, an unabashed con man known as the Napoleon of Wall Street? These questions and more are discussed in Separating Fools from Their Money. The authors trace the history of financial scandals beginning with young republic days through the Enron/WorldCom debacle of modern times. Informative and entertaining, this book reveals human nature in all of its dubious shades of gray. It also exposes themes common to all financial scandals, which remain astonishingly unchanged over time—greed, hubris, media connections, self-interested politicians, and booms-gone-bust, to name a few. This second edition features a new preface and introduction, plus three new chapters, which address the financial panic of 2008, post-panic scandals, and the “princes of Ponzi.” This book’s accessible writing will interest the casual business reader as well as the seasoned investor.
