Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System from Crisis — and Themselves by Andrew Ross Sorkin

4.0

Fascinating and absolutely infuriating. The personal dramas between all the major players involved in the 2008 financial collapse were really interesting, but it's also aggravating and terrifying that those personal dramas often played such an outsize role in the impacts this had for pretty much the entire world. The book organized the various threads of the system's undoing in a way that was digestible even to someone who barely knows how these financial institutions work.
