Andrew Ross Sorkin delivers the first true behind-the-scenes, moment-by-moment account of how the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression developed into a global tsunami. From inside the corner office at Lehman Brothers to secret meetings in South Korea, and the corridors of Washington, Too Big to Fail is the definitive story of the most powerful men and women in finance and politics grappling with success and failure, ego and greed, and, ultimately, the fate of the world’s economy.
“We’ve got to get some foam down on the runway!” a sleepless Timothy Geithner, the then-president of the Federal Reserve of New York, would tell Henry M. Paulson, the Treasury secretary, about the catastrophic crash the world’s financial system would experience.
Through unprecedented access to the players involved, Too Big to Fail re-creates all the drama and turmoil, revealing never disclosed details and elucidating how decisions made on Wall Street over the past decade sowed the seeds of the debacle. This true story is not just a look at banks that were “too big to fail,” it is a real-life thriller with a cast of bold-faced names who themselves thought they were too big to fail.

拿到这本书自然想到了货币战争,种种华尔街及美联储背后肮脏的阴谋和交易。作者以叙述的手法把08年金融海啸的发生和发展进行了生动的描述,之间交代了重要的金融大亨和监管人员的背景身世。有着自私自利,有着隔岸观火,有着绝望中的反击,有着焦虑不安下的错误决策,但没有卑...
评分2008年3月,始于房地产泡沫开始破灭,涉足subprime mortgage bond market过深的华尔街各大投行及金融机构告急。华尔街第五大投行Bear Sterns相较其他四家投行资产规模最小,应对危机能力最弱,最先出现liquidity危机。市场一时惊慌失措,fed reserve,DOF初次应对危机高度紧张...
评分这两年“大而不倒”的概念炒得挺火。前几天听说这本书是高盛和金融时报评出来的年度六本商业图书之一,另外五本的中文版应该还没出了吧,而且看到这本是小说应该不枯燥,就卖了来看。 昨天收到的,第一感觉是真厚,确实“大”。封面和整体设计挺漂亮的,很有设计感。不过这个封...
评分优点: 200多人500多小时访谈,相关书面证物(笔记、电子邮件、录音、内部演示、草稿、通话记录、日程表等),再加上书末长达40页的"notes and sources",任何能将如此庞杂信息整合到一起的工作,都是非凡的成就。这本书做到了!! 任何想了解2008年3-9月那段时间美国金融体系...
评分通过对不同人物的细致描写和交叉剪辑一样的情节推进方式,把金融危机写得像一场战争般险象环生高潮迭起,怪不得拿去拍电影感觉剧本台词都不用改。标题的本意其实很无奈,这些巨头太过庞大联系甚广,让它们倒下的代价过于沉重,“大而不倒”这个翻译无法完全表达这个含义。全书后记我非常喜欢,它如同一盆冰水兜头浇下,让人看到之前松了口气的结尾之后一切并未好转。这不仅仅是华尔街高管的事,所有人都在这汹涌的浪潮之中,无法逃离,只是有人能呼风唤雨,有人能迎浪搏击,更多人只能随波逐流。
评分我一直认为,这本书其实背后讲的是:苏利文拯救地球。
