I am sure people smarter than me could point out problems but that wouldn't change the fact that it is a must read. It gives the scope, the magnitude and perspective of greed and willful ignorance that led to the crisis. It is truly shocking, just beyond even my tolerance for stupidity. I watched an interview with the authors and you could tell they were mad. They were upset by what they had found and I understand why now.
Two of our finest business journalists have written a thorough account of the origins of the financial crisis of 2008. More than offering just a backward look, it helps explain the most troubling business headlines of the moment, as well as those that are certain to come. AwardsDistinctions
This surprising narrative goes back more than twenty years to reveal, in rich, anecdotal detail, how Wall Street, the mortgage industry, and the government conspired to change the way Americans bought their homes, creating a perfect storm. The authors take us inside elusive institutions such as Goldman Sachs, AIG, and Fannie Mae, to reveal who changed the game and why. No library descriptions found. |
