Welcome to the Viewsroom. I'm Rob Cox, the editor of Breaking Views, coming to you from

Zurich, Switzerland. This week's episode is dedicated to the SPAC craze, which has kept

Wall Street busy over the past couple of years. Some 400 so-called special purpose acquisition

vehicles have raised hundreds of billions of dollars from investors on the promise that they will

find and buy promising companies around the world. We at Breaking Views have been writing about

SPACs for some time and decided to pull together some of our coverage into a new book that

Laura Loflin, our M&A editor in New York, compiled, called The Art of the SPAC. The book makes for a fun and informative

read on this bonanza, which up to now has made quite a few bold-faced names on Wall Street

even richer, brought some fascinating if early-stage companies into the public markets and generally

not created too many disasters in its wake.

But as Lauren and Richard discuss, it's still early earnings for this speculative fervor in the market,

and regulators are keenly examining whether it poses a risk to investors and whether to shut it down.

Herewith, we discuss the art of the SPAC.

Lauren, it is great to have you here to talk to us about the art of the SPAC.
