Economic upheaval had plunged America into a horrid recession. Then, on December 11, 2008, Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme came to light. A father turned in by his sons; a son who took his own life; another son dying and estranged from his father; a woman at the center of a storm—Madoff's story was a media magnet, voraciously consumed by a justice-seeking public. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBernie Madoff and the Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e goes beyond purely investigative accounts to examine how and why Madoff became the epicenter of public fury and titillation. Rooting her argument in critical sociology, Colleen P. Eren analyzes media coverage of this landmark case alongside original interviews with dozens of journalists and editors involved in the reportage, the SEC Director of Public Affairs, and Bernie Madoff himself. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTurning the mirror back onto society, Eren locates Madoff within a broader reckoning about free market capitalism. She argues that our ideological and cultural tendencies to attribute blame to individuals—be they regulators, victims, or \"monsters\" like Madoff—distracts us from more systemic critiques. \u003ci\u003eBernie Madoff and the Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e offers fresh insight into the 2008 crisis, whether we have come to terms with it, and what we have yet to gain from the case of the century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
