It really does read like a travelogue. Look at those silly Icelanders! Look at those crazy Greeks! Look at those gullible Germans! Aren't they adorable!?!

This book was very well done. The author took a large scope of information, from various nations, and compiled it into a concise, easy-to-read, and often funny book. This is a finance book for those who aren't looking for a numeric answer of what's happening in the economy, but rather an explanation in stories as to how the world is being financially affected by the crisis. Full of anecdotes and interviews that reveal the human side of the crisis. This book looks at what happened to cause the financial problems facing Iceland, Greece, Ireland, Germany, and the US.
