Madoff whistleblower Harry Markopolos calls GE a ‘bigger fraud than Enron’
I distinctly recall a USA top-ten business school with an ad for "Financial Engineering MBA" (yes, real math) showing a small, smiling brown-skinned woman in Fortune 500 business attire. At the same time, top management at GE mentioned "financial engineering" as a strength in the business press.<p>Perhaps it is an obvious evolution of their complex asset leasing models from forty years ago to "financial engineering", but the implications of a USA engineering firm, outsourcing all the work and focusing on money tricks instead.. it just shouts everything that went wrong with American Business, to me.
