  • Visionary's Dream Led to Risky Business Opaque Deals, Accounting Sleight of Hand Built an Energy Giant and Ensured Its Demise
    Visionary's Dream Led to Risky Business Opaque Deals, Accounting Sleight of Hand Built an Energy Giant and Ensured Its Demise By Peter Behr and April Witt Washington Post Staff Writers Sunday, July 28, 2002; Page A01 First of five articles For Vince Kaminski, the in-house risk-management genius, the fall of Enron Corp. began one day in June 1999. His boss told him that Enron President Jeffrey K. Skilling had an urgent task for Kaminski's team of financialanalysts. A few minutes later, Skilling surprised Kaminski by marching into his office to explain. Enron's investment in a risky Internet start-up called Rhythms NetConnections had jumped $300 million in value. Because of a securities restriction, Enron could not sell the stock immediately. But the company could and did count the paper gain as profit. Now Skilling had a way to hold on to that windfall if the tech boom collapsed and the stock dropped. Much later, Kaminski would come to see Skilling's command as a turning point, a moment in which the course of modern American business was fundamentally altered. At the time Kaminski found Skilling's idea merely incoherent, the task patently absurd. When Kaminski took the idea to his team -- world-class mathematicians who used arcane statistical models to analyze risk -- the room exploded in laughter. The plan was to create a private partnership in the Cayman Islands that would protect -- or hedge -- the Rhythms investment, locking in the gain. Ordinarily, Wall Street firms would provide such insurance, for a fee. But Rhythms was such a risky stock that no company would have touched the deal for a reasonable price.

  • Home and the Superego: the Risky Business of Being Home Alone
    A.M. Gordon & H. Vera / PsyArt 20 (2016) 124–139 Home and the Superego: The Risky Business of Being Home Alone Andrew M. Gordon & Hernán Vera Abstract Risky Business (1983) and Home Alone (1990) are strikingly similar popular American films, family comedies. In both, the family conveniently vanishes and the son is left home alone, presented with the temptations of a newfound freedom which he promptly abuses, and then with seemingly overwhelming problems which he solves through ingenuity and risk-taking. Both are fantasies of the wise child in which adults are unsympathetic (Risky Business) or incompetent (Home Alone) and the child becomes the real adult. If we consider the superego as the internalized voice of the parents and of the culture, then both young protagonists are in revolt against the superego. In both films, we see the paradox of the child hero trashing his home in order to defend it. The two films present a rebellion against superego, home, and family not as an assault but as a defense of superego, home, and family. Both films represent the divided societal superego of America in the 1980s. Keywords Film, Risky Business, Home Alone, superego, 1980s America, home To cite as Gorden, A.M., and Vera, H., 2016, ‘Home and the Superego: The Risky Business of Being Home Alone’, PsyArt 20, pp. 124–139. "The more we reflect on the tyranny of the home, the less surprising it is that the young wish to be free of its scrutiny and control." Mary Douglas, "The Idea of a Home," 283 Risky Business (1983) and Home Alone (1990) are strikingly similar popular films, family comedies about the tribulations created by the fulfillment of a child's wish to eliminate the family.
