Description
A candid and historically illuminating memoir from Timothy Geithner, former US Secretary of the Treasury. Stress Test takes readers behind the scenes during the darkest moments of the 2009 financial crisis, revealing the hard choices and politically unpalatable decisions made by policymakers to avert a second Great Depression. Geithner recounts the most controversial moments of his time at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Treasury, including the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the AIG bonuses controversy, and the development of his plan to end the crisis. He also discusses the fight for sweeping financial reforms and the lingering aftershocks of the crisis. This memoir provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the Obama administration's response to the crisis, offering an accessible and forthright account of the events that shaped the global economy in 2009.
