Michael Lewis · 2009
Lewis makes the mortgage lending machine itself the protagonist, following the investors who read the loan pools and CDOs closely enough to see the global panic coming, and it reads like a thriller rather than a research text.
Andrew Ross Sorkin · 2009
Sorkin reconstructs the weekend by weekend collapse of the lending machine into panic, with the bankers and regulators in the room, so the bailouts and the chain from mortgage debt to global crisis are shown as one continuous story.
Lawrence G. McDonald · 2009
An insider account from a Lehman trader that puts you inside one bank's culture and decision making as it slid toward bankruptcy.
Henry M. Paulson, Jr. · 2011
The Treasury Secretary's first hand account of the frantic weekend negotiations and rescue decisions that kept the system from failing.
Gillian Tett · 2009
Tett traces the invention of the credit derivatives that turned mortgages into opaque, mispriced instruments, showing how even their creators lost sight of the risk buried inside them.
Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera · 2010
This is the most direct account of how mortgage lending was built into a global panic, tracing the incentives, securitisation and lending practices that turned home loans into worldwide contagion.
