Ask HN: Favorite books about failed/declining companies?

4 pointshnu08476 comments

Inspired by the recent thread about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos [1] I thought I'd make a thread asking for everyone's favorite books about failed/declining companies. Here is my list:

Bad Blood (Theranos)

Barbarians at the Gate (RJR Nabisco)

The Smartest Guys in the Room (Enron)

When Genius Failed (Long Term Capital Management)

Empire of Pain (Purdue Pharma)

Lights Out (GE)
