All the Devils Are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis

All the Devils Are Here by Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera — hailed as “the best business book of 2010” — offers a definitive look at the 2008 financial crisis and the forces that fueled the Great Recession. Tracing events back decades, the authors reveal how greedy traders, lax regulators, reckless lenders, and misguided policymakers all played a part. More than a story of finance, it’s a powerful examination of human nature, ambition, and the myth of homeownership. Like McLean’s The Smartest Guys in the Room, this bestseller masterfully makes sense of one of modern history’s most devastating economic meltdowns.
