Former commercial real estate banker here. Love the posting of a reading list. Especially the WeWork piece. Every volatile economic cycle flushes out the corporate leaders who ripped off employees and investors via hype and shady shortcuts. Instead of running the business the way employees believe, WeWork’s CEO Neumann cashes himself out with obviously dubious self-dealing. Every single landlord and investor had the smarts to ask the same basic questions as the article writer. They chose to close their eyes, get what money they could. Setting this right will involve investors demanding WeWork “reduce expenses”, meaning default on agreements with business partners and fire employees. So tired of seeing the destructive ripple effects from fake valuation bubbles pushed by bankers and shady corporate dealings every economic cycle.

Ways of Seeing (no pun intended) is an eye opener.
