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

Great fast-paced tale of the stress of 2008 from a fly on the wall perspective. You really get a sense of the actors in this drama as people and individuals who happen to be making difficult decisions under heavy duress, choices with life altering consequences for countless numbers of people. You also get the sense that it all would have played out so differently (not necessarily for the better) without the presence of key decision makers, especially Geithner and Paulson. Still an unbelievable period in our economic history five years later.
