Impact of the Auction Rate Securities Market Collapse

Andrew M. Genser, a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, writes: The collapse of the $330 billion Auction Rate Securities (ARS) market in February 2008 has been eclipsed in the media by a string of other dramatic collapses (and near collapses) on Wall Street, from Freddie Mac to the Madoff scandal.
