Saudi America - Bethany McLean

Fracking is making an increasing impact on the world, but most people are familiar with it from an environmental standpoint. <i>Saudi America</i>goes beyond that to examine the true story of fracking's impact – on Wall Street, the economy and on geopolitics. McLean tells the neglected story of the financial gambles that are the reasons for over-optimism and inflated promises. It's a bit like the return to the Enron story: over eagerness in partaking in a boom leads to all types of problems, including ignoring reality and risks, and in the case of Aubrey McClendon, deception.
