Nothing is more important in these quarterly announcements than earnings per share, the lodestar that investors and these days, that s most of us use to judge the health of corporate America. earnings per share is the number for which all other numbers are sacrificed. It is the distilled truth of a company s health. Too bad it s often a lie. Alex Berenson s The Number provides a comprehensiv, brutally factual overview of how Wall Street and corporate America lost their way during the great bull market that began in 1982. With wit and a broad historical perspective, Berenson puts recent corporate accounting (or accountability) disasters in their proper context.
