"Too Big To Fail is too good to put down. . . . It is the story of the actors in the most extraordinary financial spectacle in 80 years, and it is told brilliantly." --The Economist
In one of the most gripping financial narratives in decades, Andrew Ross Sorkin--a New York Times columnist and one of the country's most respected financial reporters--delivers the first definitive blow-by-blow account of the epochal economic crisis that brought the world to the brink. Through unprecedented access to the players involved, he re-creates all the drama and turmoil of these turbulent days, revealing never-before-disclosed details and recounting how, motivated as often by ego and greed as by fear and self-preservation, the most powerful men and women in finance and politics decided the fate of the world's economy.

In-depth and upclose investigation of the 2008 Financial Crisis
Nathan C. - 7 years 3 months agoSomehow, Andrew Ross Sorkin seems to have had unlimited access to all the major players in the financial crisis of 2008: from the Treasury secretary Henry Paulson to the investment bank heads to the beleaguered Insurance giant AIG. With impressive reporting and reflection, Sorkin takes on the all important question: why were so many financial institutions bailed-out, and should they have been?
