"Ķ desemberbyrjun 2001 er Enron lżst gjaldžrota. Fyrirtęki meš yfir 20 žśsund starfsmenn, sem fįeinum mįnušum fyrr hafši tilkynnt um 50 milljarša dollara tekjur og hafši enn einu sinni sprengt allar vęntingar. En nś var balliš bśiš. Žetta reyndist stęrsta gjaldžrot ķ sögu Bandarķkjanna."

Jį - ķ dag 2. desember 2011 eru nįkvęmlega 10 įr sķšan hiš risastóra orku- og hrįvörufyrirtęki Enron varš gjaldžrota. Ķ tilefni žess leyfir Orkubloggiš sér nś aš rifja upp eldri fęrslu sķna um Enron.

Kannski er žó ennžį meiri įstęša til aš hugleiša sumt af žvķ sem segir ķ grein į fréttavef CBS ķ dag:

"Enron didn't go wrong because the late Ken Lay and currently imprisoned Jeff Skilling were bad guys... The failure of this corporation required the active participation and collusion of hundreds, if not thousands, of employees. Enron's corporate culture encouraged rampant, ruthless internal competition, driving otherwise decent human beings to take risks of a kind they knew were dangerous and wrong."

enron-logo-lighnings"Enron was the dress rehearsal for the banking crisis which propelled the economic crisis we now find ourselves mired in. We could have, should have learned from it. We didn't. Legislators were intimidated. Government was weak and probably corrupt. Employees in their hundreds colluded in what they knew to be wrong. This was willful blindness on an epic scale. And once the market bounced back, it was easy to fall back on the fatal argument that Enron had been the exception, not the rule."

Skyldum viš hafa lęrt af bankahruninu?  Ég er ekki viss.   Ekki lęršum viš mikiš af Enron gjaldžrotinu fyrir įratug.
