In this episode, Paul talks with Frank Partnoy, the George E. Barrett Professor of Law and Finance and director of the Center on Corporate and Securities Law at the University of San Diego. Among other topics, they discussed how investors' unrealistic desires for fortune have played into the hands of financial managers ready and willing to take advantage of them.
In addition to writing regular opinion pieces for The New York Times and the Financial Times, Partnoy has written several books, including Infectious Greed: How Deceit and Risk Corrupted the Financial Markets, a leading corporate law casebook, and The Match King: Ivar Kreuger, The Financial Genius Behind a Century of Wall Street Scandals, about the 1920s markets and Ivar Kreuger, who many consider the father of modern financial schemes. He has been interviewed on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central), the Diane Rehm Show (NPR), Fresh Air (NPR) The NewsHour (PBS), and 60 Minutes (CBS).
