Description
The 2008 financial crisis was a catastrophic event that brought the world to its knees. The key players at the time, including Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld, banking whiz Jamie Dimon, and Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, were masters of the financial universe, with billions at their disposal. Yet, they were also the architects of their own downfall. Through unprecedented access to the key players, Andrew Ross Sorkin delivers a gripping account of the frantic phone calls, foul-mouthed rows, and white-knuckle panic that gripped Wall Street as it fought to save itself. This is a story of hubris, greed, and the ultimate failure of the system. With meticulous detail, Sorkin re-creates the chaotic world of high finance in the summer of 2008, revealing the complex web of relationships and decisions that led to the crisis.
