With a new Afterword by the author and a new Foreword by Mark

In this commanding big-picture analysis of what went wrong in
corporate America, Alex Berenson, a top financial investigative
reporter for The New York Times, examines the common thread
connecting Enron, Worldcom, Halliburton, Computer Associates, Tyco,
and other recent corporate scandals: the cult of the number.
Every three months, 14,000 publicly traded companies report sales
and profits to their shareholders. Nothing is more important in
these quarterly announcements than earnings per share, the lodestar
that investors—and these days, that’s most of us—use to judge the
health of corporate America. earnings per share is the number for
which all other numbers are sacrificed. It is the distilled truth
of a company’s health.
Too bad it’s often a lie.
Alex Berenson’s The Number provides a comprehensiv, brutally
factual overview of how Wall Street and corporate America lost
their way during the great bull market that began in 1982. With wit
and a broad historical perspective, Berenson puts recent corporate
accounting or accountability disasters in their proper context.
He explains how the wheels came off the wagon, giving readers the
information and analysis they need to understand Enron, Tyco,
WorldCom, Halliburton, and the rest of the corporate calamities of
our times.
