I was trained as a lawyer and practiced in the fields of corporate law and bank regulation in large U.S. firms for 20 years, then decided to do other things. My career has included banking and being an entrepreneur. For seven years I was CEO of a high-tech sports business. I have retired from active business and spend full-time writing, mostly on economic subjects.

My books include:

High Rollers: Inside the S&L Debacle (1991)

Debt Spiral: How Credit Failed Capitalism (2009)

Practical Handbook for Bank Directors (1995), second edition due 2012

Corporate Governance for Public Company Directors (2003)
