Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room was playing Sunday night (er...technically Monday morning...)on CBC's The Passionate Eye.
Unfortunately I tuned in about half-way (I only came in right around that whole California electricity fiasco) so alot of the accounting fraud was over my head.
What was incredibly clear however was the lack of integrity by all parties, on all accounts. As one gentleman put it at the end of the film, in a company who's motto was "Ask Why?" it appeared that nobody did.
I have decided, then, that when the time comes for me to review a book about the importance of critical thinking (as voted by you guys), the first book will be Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room.
On a personal note, this is exactly the kind of thing that inspired me to found Bridging the Gaap. The discipline of Finance has so much good to offer the world, when properly applied.
