About This Item
New York: The Penguin Press, 2010 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Brown boards, gilt titles on front board & spine, xxv, 339, [1] pp, notes, index. An apparently brief encounter with water has left some staining to rear endpapers and cockling to paper near foot of spine. DJ in Brodart archival cover. According to the DJ, the 2008 financial crisis "upended the central tenets of the new finance--notably, that Wall Street was capable of calibrating its risk and that markets were able to regulate themselves. As such illusions were exposed, Wall Street suffered its worst breakdown in modern times. Banks wouldn't lend; companies could not refinance. Millions of Americans were threatened with losing their homes. ... Confidence in America's market system, thought to have attained the pinnacle of laissez-faire perfection, was shattered. ... The narrative begins with Angelo Mozil, the Johnny Appleseed of subprime mortgages who spread toxic loans across the landscape like wild crabapples." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. First Combined Edition. . Good/Fine. 24 X 16½ cm.
Synopsis
With razor-sharp insight, bestselling author Roger Lowenstein tells the full story of the end of Wall Street as we knew it. Roger Lowenstein's The End of Wall Street unfurls a gripping chronicle of the 2008 financial collapse, drawing on 180 interviews with top government officials and Wall Street CEOs. Lowenstein looks to the roots of the crisis to reveal how America succumbed to the siren song of easy debt and speculative mortgages. Combining deep analysis with sizzling narrative, The End of Wall Street charts the end of an era of unprecedented and unwarranted optimism while looking ahead to the legacy of the bailout.
