And so Long-Term Capital Management was born.".Summary: "When Genius Failed is the cautionary financial tale of our time, the saga of what happened when an elite group of investors believed they could actually deconstruct risk and use virtually limitless leverage to create limitless wealth."--BOOK JACKET.
