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.
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.
Not as captivating as hoped. long and blandish. maybe useful as for public policy makers. He served for a republican president

評分将这本书和Paul Paulson的书对比来看很有趣。Henry是高盛的国王,金融危机期间临危受命的财长,他的位置带给了这本书很多特别的看点,尤其是美国经济体系的顶尖人物的工作方式。 第7页总统与财长和“两房”体系的斗争 监管-》在法定资本充足率与市场资本充足率之间的矛盾...
評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...
評分看了他全力挽救一家又一家濒临倒闭的大型金融机构(Bears, Lehman, Morgan Stanley, Merril Lynch, AIG, Wachovia, Citi),你就知道什么叫大而不倒。保尔森不无自嘲的说:他作为自由市场的坚定捍卫者,在历史评价上却不得不永远和政府干涉和Bailout联系在一起。 印...
