"Too Big to Fail is too good to put down. . . . It is the story of the actors in the most extraordinary financial spectacle in [over] 80 years, and it is told brilliantly." --The Economist
NOW AN HBO FILM One of the most gripping financial stories in decades, Too Big to Fail delivers a blow-by-blow account of the epochal economic crisis that brought the world to the brink. Through unprecedented access to the players involved, Andrew Ross Sorkin re-creates all the drama and turmoil of those 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. This edition has been updated with a new afterword reflecting on the tenth anniversary of the crisis.
