Henry M. Paulson, Jr. served under President George W. Bush as the 74th Secretary of the Treasury from June 2006 until January 2009. Before coming to Treasury, Paulson was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs since the firm's initial public offering in 1999. He joined Goldman Sachs Chicago Office in 1974 and rose through the ranks holding several positions including, Managing Partner of the firm's Chicago office, Co-head of the firm's investment Banking Division, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Co-Senior partner.
Prior to joining Goldman Sachs, Paulson was a member of the White House Domestic Council, serving as Staff Assistant to the President from 1972 to 1973, and as Staff Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon from 1970 to 1972.
Paulson graduated from Dartmouth in 1968, where he majored in English, was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and an All Ivy, All East football player. He received an M.B.A. from Harvard in 1970.
When Hank Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, was appointed in 2006 to become the nation's next Secretary of the Treasury, he knew that his move from Wall Street to Washington would be daunting and challenging.
But Paulson had no idea that a year later, he would find himself at the very epicenter of the world's most cataclysmic financial crisis since the Great Depression. Major institutions including Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, AIG, Merrill Lynch, and Citigroup, among others-all steeped in rich, longstanding tradition-literally teetered at the edge of collapse. Panic ensnared international markets. Worst of all, the credit crisis spread to all parts of the U.S. economy and grew more ominous with each passing day, destroying jobs across America and undermining the financial security millions of families had spent their lifetimes building.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime economic nightmare. Events no one had thought possible were happening in quick succession, and people all over the globe were terrified that the continuing downward spiral would bring unprecedented chaos. All eyes turned to the United States Treasury Secretary to avert the disaster.
This, then, is Hank Paulson's first-person account. From the man who was in the very middle of this perfect economic storm, ON THE BRINK is Paulson's fast-paced retelling of the key decisions that had to be made with lightning speed. Paulson puts the reader in the room for all the intense moments as he addressed urgent market conditions, weighed critical decisions, and debated policy and economic considerations with of all the notable players-including the CEOs of top Wall Street firms as well as Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Sheila Bair, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain, and then-President George W. Bush.
More than an account about numbers and credit risks gone bad, ON THE BRINK is an extraordinary story about people and politics-all brought together during the world's impending financial Armageddon.
干我们这行,看书最大的问题就是很少有整块的时间,最多有连续的一两个小时可以看书,有极少数整块的时间也要用来准备各种考试,所以工作后看完的书以一两个小时就能看一小半的各种中文自传、口水书、小说为主。往前看,在这本on the brink和《少有人走的路》之前,最早...
评分作者记录了从金融危机开始到政府救助结束他的第一人称视角。每一天,跟谁,在哪里,开会或谈话的内容。应该算是一个很详实的史料记录,适合以后的历史研究者做资料引用,遗憾的是很少有跳出记叙而画龙点睛的评论。 如果你想知道这场危机发生的深层原因,或者谁应该负什么样的...
评分 评分保尔森号称是自由市场的拥护者,但在美国危机当前,他采取尽量快的集权方式来解决问题,打击市场中诞生的怪物,拯救美国的人民。 这点他几乎可以说是以中国为师,但在美国多方制衡的情况下,他用尽了力量去扩充他本人及其盟友的权力,来和庞大的市场怪物对战。 短期内固然平息...
评分too big to fail 完整版的解释
评分The book is not a defense of his actions during the crisis. He did the best he could, given the circumstances.
评分He did everything he's supposed to do in that position. I did not see any conspiracy going on during the decision-making process. I cannot feel the tense like I read Too big to fail, too much nagging about the details, but nagging is good to understand how many things need to be considered before reaching an agreement in America
评分对危机发生时 财政部 Fed 国会 白宫的交互关系的叙述蛮有价值的 政治理念这块吧 他一说 你一听 乐呵乐呵就行了 其它不能说的当然也都没说
评分#这几本书真是让我对保尔森好感剧增,本身就是对他的职业生涯觉得很感兴趣,开篇读到他对礼宾一头雾水感到十分有趣,这本书把too big to fail的后续也写了出来,而且从局内人的角度,讲了两党间政治磨皮各种无奈,这么大的危机遇上大选,能做到这个地步真是很不容易了。下一步很想看Tim Geithner的版本哈哈
