"Read this book to understand HOW the credit crisis began and who was most responsible for it. This is a Non partisan look at the recent history or the US financial system and the investment banking and "shadow banking" system that brought the USA and the rest of the world's banks and economies to the brink ot collapse"
"Good overview of how we got into the mortage crisis, but there were too many complex financial instruments to really understand. He assumes you have a certain depth of knowledge for complex finance instruments."
"I am being generous and stingy with this rating. I suspect that the book was well written for the reader who could understand it. For those of us who do not read the Economist and the Wall Street Journal in their entirety, daily, this book does not shed much light on the current economic crisis."
"Honestly, some of the concepts in the book were beyond me. (Although I am working to change that.) That did not stop me from getting a great deal out of this well-balanced, important read. I highly recommend it."
