"The tale of Ivar Krueger, vividly brought to life by Frank
Partnoy, is a reminder that Wall Street has not changed much since
the late 1920's. The players change, but the animal spirits remain
the same. Anyone interested in today's financial crisis will be
captivated by this story."
"Time," January 13, 2009
"Frank Partnoy has an exceptionally well-timed book on Ivar Kreuger
coming out."
Robert A. G. Monks, author of "Corpocracy" and "The New Global

""The Match King" is a skillfully told tale of the romance and the
corruption involved in attempting to be on top of the world. How
did Krueger enlisted the loyalty of the people essential to him?
Yes, some he bought, but most -- he beguiled."
