N2  - "We normally try to understand the economy by tracking numbers like unemployment and interest rates or inflation. But this is like trying to understand a car by looking at the speedometer. In Frenzy, Carl Haacke throws open the hood and reveals what really drives the economy. He explores the human dimension behind business bubbles, using the Dot Com bubble as the central story board. He provides insight into the colossal mistakes of the past and guideposts for future success." "Frenzy illustrates how the Dot Com bubble can be dissected to show the anatomy of every bubble that has preceded it and the many more on the way. Through interviews with the world's most influential venture capitalists, Fortune 500 CEOs, and Wall Street's multi-billion dollar portfolio managers, as well as Haacke's own insights, Frenzy reveals the driving forces of the Dot Com bubble from its earliest beginnings to its collapse. By showing how these dynamics merely follow the ones laid out by bubbles of the past, Haacke provides critical lessons for today's business professionals, investors, and entrepreneurs on how to survive the frenzy that drives the accelerating waves of innovation and change."--BOOK JACKET
