bpkrutko's review

4.0

This was alright. It stated it's points well, made rational and reasonable arguments. Some of the articles were quite superb, bringing information and emotional depth to otherwise staid economic issues. But the book flounders in its back half. There's a lot of sound, and very little fury. It repeats the same article several times, with basically no new additions. It's ending section seems rushed off and dispassionate.

In general, a sufficient summary of the financial crisis up to the inauguration, but quickly dated, didactic, and generalized.
