Book Review of Fool's Gold: The Inside Story of J.P. Morgan and How Wall St. Greed Corrupted Its Bold Dream and Created a Financial Catastrophe

reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


Gillian Tett has taken a dry subject: the creation of financial derivatives and related complex financial instruments and how that led to the financial collapse of 2008 and turned it into a gripping whodunit. Well worth reading if you want to understand what really happened.
