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.
Too big to fail, but it also too long to read.断断续续读了快一个月,终于读完了。感受如下: 1、书中出现的人名时间太多了,我到后面几乎是忽略人名,而仅关注起所在公司。 2、多人合译的痕迹还是比较明显,前后有些固定词汇翻译修订时可以更好统一。举个例子:General Cou...
評分 評分特想翻翻这部金融史诗的词典,从中激起些许的动力和勇气。看到简介就不禁想起初入股市的种种。10年初,危机余温尚存,在这个形势尚不明了的时刻,选择进入股市,经过一段时间的艰难选择,最终敲定中国平安,结果,股市开始缓慢下探,从3000点直到现在的2600点,中间起起伏伏,...
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...
評分重新看了一遍,开始觉得以前的评价有点过于苛责了。本来就不应该以科学的水准还衡量一本娱乐杂志是否深刻、客观和理性。要说,作为一本娱乐杂志,本书的各种小道消息和八卦材料绝对是丰富多彩。更何况作者总算是通俗地勾勒了绝大部分重要人物在金融危机里面的戏份,作为非专业...
好看!
评分寫得好好,多年後看依然懸念十足
评分好看!
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……
评分比lewis那本好
