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.
Andrew Ross Sorkin is the award-winning chief mergers and acquisitions reporter for The New York Times, a columnist, and assistant editor of business and finance news. He is also the editor and founder of DealBook, an online daily financial report. He has won a Gerald Loeb Award, the highest honor in business journalism, and a Society of American Business Editors and Writers Award. In 2007, the World Economic Forum named him a Young Global Leader.
看了《毁了世界的银行家》,再看《大而不倒(Too Big to Fail)》,不得不说,后者作为一部金融界的2012,更上一层楼。 就像当年看《明朝那些事儿》的感慨--原来历史可以写得这么好看!看完这本书,我又去看了老徐导的投行商战爱情故事《亲密敌人》,只能说后者太幼稚,弱爆...

評分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...
評分看完了.539页的精彩记录.从2008年三月十七日(熊斯坦刚被分尸完毕)到2008年十月十三日(包森,伯南克,盖森耐联合起来向九大银行的CEO强行发放TARP贷款并盯着他们全盘接受)为止. 只记得那时候所有的新闻媒体都很激动,坏消息一个接一个,股市哗啦啦的跌,人心惶...
評分此书主要以雷曼兄弟的倒闭为主线,华尔街各金融机构在2008年金融大海啸的众生相。 针对金融行业,信心是无比重要的,而且来自政府声音所带来的信心更是灯塔一般指引着大资金的方向。对于金融行业这类的社会科学来讲对信心的依赖是巨大的,如果所有人都坚持的观点那么这个观点就...
自從看瞭Billions,信息量大的財經類的書籍我也會選讀瞭。這次和honey一起看這本大部頭,從“人”的角度領略瞭一番站在金融海嘯最前端,直麵山雨欲來風滿樓的恐懼的感覺。財政部長和聯邦儲蓄的最高層,通過政治力量嚴令金融大鰐的救市、並購等一係列在尋常時期根本不尋常的舉措,以及在多米諾骨牌鏈中飄搖的百年企業的手足無措,都使人心驚。Honey讀過很多類似的書,她覺得這本很一般,沒有新的“內幕”。
评分挖齣這麼多細節真的好驚人
评分我一直認為,這本書其實背後講的是:蘇利文拯救地球。
评分內容很好,但是這本書的陳述方式我實在是很不喜歡,明明可以用一半篇幅就能講明白的事情囉囉嗦嗦說瞭那麼多……以及這個世界真是搞不好瞭,讓人無法不想到The Power Elite這本書……
