From esteemed New Yorker writer Mark Singer comes this
cautionary tale of the Penn Square Bank, the oil and gas broker in
an Oklahoma City shopping mall whose collapse in 1982 staggered
America's banking industry. Recounting the whole spectacular story
and its colorful characters, Singer makes brilliantly (and
hilariously) clear what actually happened and why it had to happen
in boom-time Oklahoma. Nowhere else did money flow in quite the
same spontaneous fashion. " A] tale of wonderful verve" (New York
Times), Funny Money comes to life through Singer's vivid prose and
continues to resonate in today's culture of corporate
corruption.
