Biografi-poddenIvar Kreuger: Fyrstikkongen som sluknet brått
Han var særdeles skoleflink, men dette hindret ham ikke i å jukse på eksamen, og han ble kalt «sniken» av sine klassekamerater. Han gjorde stor suksess i næringslivet. Først i bygg- og anleggsbransjen, så ble han Tändstickskungen, altså fyrstikkongen, og bidro til at Sverige ble verdens største fyrstikkeksportør. Deretter ble han finansmann, finansakrobat eller svindler, litt avhengig av hvem du spør. Hans historie inkluderer også Ericsson, Svensk Filmindustri og store lån til Tyskland, Frankrike og andre europeiske land som var på knærne etter første verdenskrig. Han var på forsiden av Time Magazine omtren...
