About This Item
Brisbane, Milton: John Wiley, 2003. Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white photos, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. 242 pp. When the Sydney-based mega-insurance group HIH collapsed in March 2001 posting losses of $5.3 billion, the Australian business community literally came to a standstill. Overnight, many insurance quotes were priced out of reach, and many medicos, child care centres and sports clubs had to close. Mark Westfield, a journalist with 'The Australian' newspaper, exposes a shocking tale of corporate greed. The story of Ray Williams, the secretive, arrogant CEO who almost caused the collapse of Australia's reinsurance industry.
