DESCRIPTION:
Brief, Succinct, and Accessible to the Casual Business Reader Jamie M. Schmidt Like all of Ms. Tavakoli's writings, this little nugget pulls no punches and cuts straight to the chase. However, this volume is different from Ms. Tavakoli's other writings (e.g., "Structured Finance and Collateralized Debt Obligations" or "The New Robber Barons") in that it sticks to the big picture, is brief, and contains a significant human element. These traits are important because it makes Ms. Tavakoli's writings and poignant analysis of the financial crisis and its aftermath accessible to a broader spectrum of business readers. You probably need a cursory understanding of derivatives and t. "Startling" according to Richard L. Maring. If you want to read a book on how the Fed, the government, and Wall Street are bedfellows in clear, concise, and understandable terms, then read this short book. It's eye opening, written by a person who was there, has integrity and credentials, and can explain things so anybody can understand. That's why the stock market keeps going up and up, but, the United States will have to pay the piper someday. Excellent reading for those who want to know.. Entertaining but also depressinghighly recommended! Stan H In typical Tavakoli style, this book names names and pulls no punches in describing the cronyism and corruption that continue to plague our financial system. It seems that nothing was learned and nothing has changed following the crisis of 2008, which is hardly surprising given the incestuous relationship between Wall Street and Washington. A quick and entertaining read, but as other reviewers have noted, one that will leave you depressed and concerned about the future of our country.
