Haftanın Kitabı 57: All the Devils Are Here - The Hidden History Of The Financial Crisis
Künye: Bethany McLean, Joe Nocera, All the Devils Are Here - The Hidden History Of The Financial Crisis, Penguin Group, 416 pages, 2010 (repr 2011).
Özet: Before the dust even settled, competing theories emerged to explain the financial crisis. Should the blame fall on Wall Street, Main Street, or Pennsylvania Avenue? On greedy traders, clueless homeowners, or timid regulators? Or on foreign culprits in London, Beijing, or Tehran? Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, two of America's most acclaimed business journalists, offer the definitive answer: all of the above and more. Many devils helped bring hell to the economy. This surprising narrative goes back more than twenty years to reveal, in rich, anecdotal detail, how Wall Street, the mortgage industry, and the government conspired to change the way Americans bought their homes, creating a perfect storm. The authors take us inside elusive institutions such as Goldman Sachs, AIG, and Fannie Mae, to reveal who changed the game and why. With new, sometimes startling details, and a surprising cast of characters, they get for the first time to the real roots of the financial crisis. It wasn't about credit default swaps, collateralized debt obligations, or other complexities. It was about basic human psychology-from the poorest Florida home buyer to the richest CEO. Just as McLean's The Smartest Guys in the Room was hailed as the best Enron book on a crowded shelf, so will All the Devils Are Here be remembered for finally making sense of the road to the meltdown.
ya da:
The New York Times bestseller hailed as "the best business book of 2010" (Huffington Post).
As soon as the financial crisis erupted, the finger-pointing began.
Should the blame fall on Wall Street, Main Street, or Pennsylvania
Avenue? On greedy traders, misguided regulators, sleazy subprime
companies, cowardly legislators, or clueless home buyers? According
to Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, two of America's most acclaimed
business journalists, the real answer is all of the above-and more.
Many devils helped bring hell to the economy. And the full story, in
all of its complexity and detail, is like the legend of the blind men
and the elephant. Almost everyone has missed the big picture. Almost no
one has put all the pieces together. All the Devils Are Here
goes back several decades to weave the hidden history of the financial
crisis in a way no previous book has done. It explores the motivations
of everyone from famous CEOs, cabinet secretaries, and politicians to
anonymous lenders, borrowers, analysts, and Wall Street traders. It
delves into the powerful American mythology of homeownership. And it
proves that the crisis ultimately wasn't about finance at all; it was
about human nature.
yazışmak üzere, neşeli okumalar ve seyirler dilerim.
