The Asylum: Inside the Rise and Ruin of the Global Oil Market – The Amazing-But-True Story of Hardscrabble Traders

The Asylum is a stunning expos© by a seasoned Wall Street journalist that once and for all reveals the truth behind America€s oil addiction in all its unscripted and dysfunctional glory.

In the tradition of Too Big to Fail and Liar€s Poker, author Leah McGrath Goodman tells the amazing-but-true story of a band of struggling, hardscrabble traders who, after enduring decades of scorn from New York€s stuffy financial establishment, overcame more than a century of failure, infighting, and brinksmanship to build the world€s reigning oil empire€"entirely by accident.
