It is a must read for those in the financial business.' Colm Kelleher, Former CFO and President of Morgan Stanley 'The Financial Crisis of 2008 is essential reading for banking, investment, and insurance firm leadership but also for investors, analysts, economists, and students of financial and investment history. It depicts how widespread risk-taking at the firm level can morph into systemwide near collapse and how the mantra of homeownership for all must be considered in light of the associated financial risks and undisciplined creation of asset-backed securities. The book is required reading for a generation.' Janet J. Mangano, Enterprising Investor Author InformationBarrie A.
