This volume, The bottomless line--important lessons they did not teach you in business school builds on the key concepts in Volume I to draw the reader's attention to the "dark side" of the modern financial services profession. Structured in a way that enables readers to examine contemporary examples of willful co-optation, misuse, and misinterpretation of old texts and ideas, run-of-the-mill corruption, and dangerous group-think, Volume II examines the personal and broadscale financial troubles generated by reckless financial misunderstandings. Far from aiming for an exposé, however, the chapters in Volume II paint a picture of the far side of the moral scale, before laying out an action plan for hewing to the near side, or the middle.
